Pac-12 Picks Oregon Basketball as Favorite to Win Conference

Related Topics: Pac-12 Conference, Basketball

For the first time ever, the Pac-12 Conference picked the Oregon Ducks as the conference favorite. This shouldn’t come as much of a surprise.

Keep in mind, this is the same team that returns four of five starters from last years’ squad. That team, of course, won both the regular season, as well as the conference tournament championship.

In addition to the returning starters, Oregon also adds a myriad of talented players in their 2016 recruiting class, including Payton Pritchard who ranks in the Top 100 according to ESPN.

The Ducks collected 23 out of a potential 27 votes from the media members who cover the conference.
