NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Committee discusses team evaluation process

The Pac-12 expected to get six, maybe even a record-tying seven teams, into last season’s NCAA Tournament.

As the pandemic-delayed 2020-21 season is set to start, the Pac-12 is again in position to have one of the toughest, deepest conferences in college basketball.

With Friday’s loss to North Carolina, which included a Grayson Allen hip check, the Blue Devils reminded everyone why they may be vulnerable in the NCAA tourney.
