2016 Pac-12 Tournament Predictions

Here are my predictions for the 2016 Pac-12 tournament. The tournament will be held at MGM Grand Arena in Paradise, Nevada.

First Round
March 9th- (9) Stanford (15-14; 8-10) vs (8) Washington (17-13; 9-9)- 3:00, Pac-12N
Prediction: Washington

March 9th- (12) Washington State (9-21; 1-17) vs (5) Colorado (21-10; 10-8)- 5:30, Pac-12N
Prediction: Colorado

March 9th- (10) UCLA (15-16; 6-12) vs (7) USC (20-11; 9-9)- 9:00, Pac-12N
Prediction: USC

March 9th- (11) Arizona State (15-16; 5-13) vs (6) Oregon State (18-11; 9-9)- 11:30, Pac-12N
Prediction: Oregon State

Quarterfinals
March 10th- (8) Washington vs (1) Oregon (25-6; 14-4)- 3:00, Pac-12N
Prediction: Oregon

March 10th- (5) Colorado vs (4) Arizona (24-7; 12-6)- 5:30, Pac-12N: Colorado can make this interesting, but Arizona is just the better team here.
Prediction: Arizona

March 10th- (7) USC vs (2) Utah (24-7; 13-5)- 9:00, Pac-12N: USC has fallen off a bit after they were ranked for a few weeks while Utah is playing great.
Prediction: Utah

March 10th- (6) Oregon State vs (3) California (22-9; 12-6)- 11:30, FS1: Gary Payton is a very good player and he'll keep Oregon State afloat in this one against a hot Cal team.
Prediction: California

Semifinals
March 11th- (4) Arizona vs (1) Oregon- 9:00, Pac-12N: This game should be a good one. Sean Miller's teams always rises to the occasion for games like this so give me the Cats.
Prediction: Arizona

March 11th- (3) California vs (2) Utah- 11:30, FS1: Both of these teams come in playing great basketball, but I like Utah slightly better here.
Prediction: Utah

Championship
March 12th- (4) Arizona vs (2) Utah- 10:00, FS1: This should be a very fun championship game. Although, the popular pick here would be Arizona, but I like the hot Utes here to end up no lower than a three-seed, as the Cats will end up about a four-seed.
Prediction: Utah
