For much of the season, the Pac-12 was a two-horse race between Arizona and Utah. But with the Utes dropping three of their last five, they’ve fallen to the No. 3 seed in the tournament, with Oregon taking over the two spot. The Ducks won the only meeting between the two teams this year.
Pac-12 Tournament 2015: Bracket, schedule and scores
Arizona claims its first Pac-12 Tournament title since 2002.

Despite their slump, Utah still figures to be a high seed in the NCAA Tournament. They have quality wins over Wichita State and BYU, as well as a 13-5 mark in conference play.
Arizona, meanwhile, suffered just two losses in conference this year and has not stumbled since Feb. 7. Assuming the Wildcats win their first game, they may have to play a desperate UCLA team in the semifinals. The Bruins are squarely on the bubble and could use one more marquee win to put them into the NCAA Tournament field. Those two teams met on Feb. 21 and Arizona escaped with a 10-point victory in a low-scoring game.
