In one of the last events the Pac-12 Conference will ever hold in its current form, the Oregon Ducks will try to defend its conference tournament title this week in Scottsdale, Ariz. Oregon and eight other teams will play for the automatic berth to the NCAA tournament.
It’s only the third tournament in the conference’s history and it’s a shame it will be the last as the event has been an overwhelming success for the league. It’s held at the Spring Training facility of the San Francisco Giants.
After pool play ends, the semifinal matchups will pit the highest-seeded team against the lowest-seeded team on one side with the second-highest seed and second-lowest seed on the other. Teams from the same pool however will not play each other in the semifinals.
Every game will be televised with Pac-12 Networks the home for all games Tuesday through Friday. On Saturday, the 2024 Pac-12 Tournament Championship Game will air on ESPNU at 7 p.m. PT.
