For No. 20 Arizona State women's basketball to win the Pac-12 Tournament would required beating Colorado, No. 25 UCLA, likely No. 6 Oregon and probably No. 7 Stanford or No. 11 Oregon State in consecutive days.
As daunting as that sounds, it's a familiar gauntlet — albeit over a more compressed time period.
ASU just completed its second four-game run against California, Stanford, Oregon State and Oregon, going 1-3 with two of the losses by less than 10 points. The Sun Devils went 2-2 against that quartet in January. They are 5-8 vs. quadrant 1 opponents overall while playing a schedule ranked fifth toughest in the country.
