March Madness is here! The Pac-12 is headed to Las Vegas, Nev. to see who will go dancing in the NCAA Tournament.
Two teams, Washington (24-7, 15-3), who won the regular season championship and Arizona State (21-9, 12-6) are pretty much shoe-ins for the madness. If another team does win the conference tournament, however, it could put ASU on the bubble.
