The PAC-12 was more competitive than ever this season, as seemingly perennial winners the Arizona Wildcats finished the season with the No. 4 seed in the PAC-12 tournament. With several teams still fighting for a spot in the 2016 NCAA tournament, the PAC-12 tournament is going to be absolutely crazy. Here are five predictions for the 2016 PAC-12 tournament.
5. USC Crushes UCLA

The USC Trojans desperately need a win to secure their place in the 2016 NCAA tournament, and they boast wins at home and on the road against UCLA in the regular season. The Bruins are not a good team defensively, and Andy Enfield’s offense rips them to shreds yet again.
4. Oregon State Upsets Cal

Oregon State is one of the more underrated teams in college basketball; unfortunately, the Beavers might need two wins in the PAC-12 tournament to make the Big Dance. They have already proven themselves against Cuonzo Martin’s squad earlier in the season, and I expect them to get it done again.
3. Utah Cruises To Final

The Utah Utes might not be the No. 1 seed in the PAC-12 tournament, but they definitely have the easier side of the bracket. The Utes could easily win both of their games by double digits.
2. Oregon Defeats Arizona In Semifinal Thriller

It’s a shame these two teams are unable to face off in the final, but Oregon vs. Arizona is going to be a must-watch game. Oregon defeated the Wildcats in their only regular season meeting, and I expect them to do so once again – albeit much closer this time.
1. Oregon Wins PAC-12 Tournament

Oregon is hands down the best team in the PAC-12, and there really is no argument towards any other team. The Ducks will face Utah in a great game between the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds, and Oregon will head into the 2016 NCAA tournament looking to win a treble.
