The Pac-12 Conference’s newest members have added more than altitude and a time change.
Colorado and Utah are also two of the conference’s pluckier basketball programs, routinely inflicting a Rocky Mountain low on some of their more storied counterparts.
The Buffaloes defeated Arizona to win the first Pac-12 tournament they played in, in 2012, and have made the NCAA tournament in four of their five seasons as conference members. The Utes finished in second place in the Pac-12 in each of the last two seasons and made the NCAA tournament both times, advancing to a regional semifinal in 2015.
