The Wildcats Look to Extend Their PAC-12 Lead Down the Homestretch

Jump To: NCAA Tournament | NCAA Final Four

UCLA started the year as preseason #2 in the AP Poll and entered the 2021-22 as the favorites to claim the PAC-12. But, the unranked Arizona Wildcats have had something to say about that. The Wildcats have had an outstanding year, shocking many with their dominant play. The PAC-12 looks like Arizona's to lose with only a handful of games left in the regular season, but don't count out UCLA or USC just yet, who loom just a few games behind the Wildcats. The PAC-12 may still go down to the wire, but one thing is certain in that this will be a conference tournament to pay attention to come March.

PAC-12 basketball is seeped in college basketball history. The UCLA Bruins of the 1960's and 1970's were one of the most dominant programs the country had ever seen. Their success gave rise to other storied programs like the Arizona Wildcats in 1990's and 2000's, but the PAC-12 has been starved for sustained success since then. Arizona, UCLA, and USC have started to show signs of being national powers in recent years, but tournament success will determine if they are truly back among the college basketball's elite.
