Pac-12 Basketball Preview: Will Any Elite Teams Emerge From a Wide-Open League?
Posted Nov 5, 2018
It was not a banner campaign for Pac-12 basketball last season. Since there aren’t any elite teams this season, the Pac-12 is wide open. 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.
