The Pac 12 last year, to put it nicely, was a big let down. No teams made it past the round of 64 in the tournament, and besides Arizona, no team looked like a Power 5 contender. This year however, that will change. With strong recruiting, returning stars, and a new energy, the Pac 12 is due for a bounce back season.
