Pac-12 Basketball Preview: Will Any Elite Teams Emerge From a Wide-Open League?

Posted Nov 5, 2018

It feels like nine teams have a shot at landing a top-three finish. But after last season’s lackluster finish in postseason play, it’s imperative that the season starts with some big non-conference wins to elevate the Pac-12’s reputation. (Sports Illustrated)
