The conference has seven teams in the field and is looking to advance a minimum of five into the second round.
Twice, the Pac-12 has sent five teams to the Sweet 16.
But all seven participants are favored by seed in the first round, with three of them playing at home. So the pertinent question is whether the Pac-12 can match its 2017 feat and send seven teams through to the second round. A total of six wins in the first round seems more likely, and it could take some nail-biting to win that many.
Perhaps Washington State, which won the Pac-12 tournament, could upset Villanova in the second round for a fourth Pac-12 team in the Sweet Sixteen, joining Stanford, Utah and UCLA.Overall, the Pac-12 has had 14 teams in the Final Four since 2008, including two in 2016 and two finalists in 2021.
