NCAA Men's basketball Tournament
It was a little unfair that USC and Oregon met in a Sweet Sixteen matchup on Sunday at the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament. With Oregon State and UCLA already penciled in as participants in the Elite 8, it had become a sure thing that three teams from the Pac-12 Conference would advance to the Elite 8 and just one win away from the Final Four.
USC was too much for Oregon yesterday as they rolled to a 82-68 win, while UCLA moved on with a grueling 88-78 overtime win over Alabama. Oregon State reached the Elite 8 on Saturday with a 65-58 win over Loyola.
It's time for Bill Walton to get his due. Not for announcing mind you, but as a 7-foot fortune teller, after all he had five Pac-12 teams in the Final Four. Colorado, of course, bowed out after one win as the Pac-12 owns a 12-1 record.
Up next for the Pac-12: USC and Gonzaga, UCLA and Michigan and Oregon State takes on Houston. The fourth matchup has Baylor against Arkansas. Four go home and four advance to the 2021 Final Four.
