The stretch run brought a slew of stellar team and individual performances as teams jockey for seeds in the Pac-12 and NCAA tournaments.
What we learned on the third-to-last — or antepenultimate, for all you wordsmiths out there — weekend of the regular season …As expected, the Wildcats were a No. 1 seed in the NCAA selection committee’s reveal of the top-16 seeds as it currently stands.
They have, at most, two games remaining against teams guaranteed to make the at-large field: USC and either USC or UCLA in the finals of the conference tournament. That’s not a lot of rocket fuel. The Pac-12 is on course to produce two top-four seeds for the first time since 2017, when it had three: No. 2 Arizona, No. 3 Oregon and No. 3 UCLA.The Ducks appeared on the brink of collapse following a double-digit home loss to Cal and a 24-point loss at Arizona State a few days ago.
WSU is now 0-6 in games decided by one possession. More importantly, the Cougars remain winless in Quadrant I games. But after weekend sweeps — ASU over the Oregon schools; Utah in the Bay Area — both teams have unlocked momentum at just the right time for the Pac-12 tournament. Why? Because wing Jaylen Clark, who replaced Juzang in the lineup, and reserve guard David Singleton combined for 47 points on 19-of-26 shooting.
