Pac-12 Basketball power rankings: Ducks, Trojans land at the top
By Connor Hope
With just seven weeks until the Pac-12 Basketball Tournament, which teams have separated themselves as conference championship contenders?
There is little doubt that this season has been one of the most exciting seasons in recent memory. While there appears to be a lack of elite talent, both at the individual and team levels, this has created an opportunity for a lot of upsets and a relatively large bubble.
This trend has extended to Pac-12 Basketball where surprising upsets have left many fans stunned over the past few weeks. While many of the conferences, have taken a step back this year, the Pac-12 seems to have taken a step forward. Cal and Washington State are no longer an embarrassment to the conference, Oregon has an argument as a National Championship contender, and the talent across the board has forced people to stay awake for games.
On an individual level, Payton Pritchard may be the frontrunner for Pac-12 Player of the Year, but every team has at least one player that demands attention. This has made even the most lopsided blowout fun to watch.
With just a month and a half until the postseason, how does the Pac-12 Conference shape up right now?
