After sending four teams to the NCAA Tournament in its final year as a conference, the PAC-12 has shined.
All four PAC-12 teams won its first round game, including Colorado who advanced out of the First Four against Boise State, and Arizona remains the favorite to win the West Region after winning both games in the first weekend.
Oregon, who won the PAC-12 Tournament to secure a bid in the NCAA Tournament, was one of the biggest stories of the first weekend, beating South Carolina by double digits before bowing out in double overtime to Creighton.
Elsewhere, Washington State rallied to beat Drake in the first round before losing to Iowa State in a competitive second round matchup.
