2020 Pac-12 Tournament Predictions

Here are my predictions for the 2020 Pac-12 Tournament. The tournament will be held at the T-Mobile Arena in Paradise, Nevada.

First Round
3/11- (9) Utah (16-14; 7-11) vs (8) Oregon State (17-13; 7-11)- 3:00, Pac-12: These teams had some moments throughout the season, but the Beavers should win this game led by Tres Trinkel.
Prediction: Oregon State

3/11- (12) Washington (15-16; 5-13) vs (5) Arizona (20-11; 10-8)- 5:30, Pac-12: The Huskies have certainly been the conference's most disappointing team and there season will come to a close against a Wildcats team in the midst of a bounce back season.
Prediction: Arizona

3/11- (10) California (13-18; 7-11) vs (7) Stanford (20-11; 9-9)- 9:00, Pac-12
Prediction: Stanford

3/11- (11) Washington State (15-16; 6-12) vs (6) Colorado (21-10; 10-8)- 11:30, Pac-12
Prediction: Colorado

Quarterfinals
3/12- (8) Oregon State vs (1) Oregon (24-7; 13-5)- 3:00, Pac-12: This could be a closer game game than expected with Trinkel keeping the Beavers in it, but the much superior Ducks will pull away.
Prediction: Oregon

3/12- (5) Arizona vs (4) USC (22-9; 11-7)- 5:30, Pac-12: This is a great quarterfinal between two teams that should get in the Dance. The Trojans I feel are under some pressure go at least win one more game to feel safe and I think they'll get it done.
Prediction: USC

3/12- (7) Stanford vs (2) UCLA (19-12; 12-6)- 9:00, Pac-12: The Cardinal have been a pleasant surprise this season and are a bubble team for the dance, but the Bruins are also a bubble team and should win this game.
Prediction: UCLA

3/12- (6) Colorado vs (3) Arizona State (20-11; 11-7)- 11:30, FS1: This should be a good game between these two teams that are certainly in the NCAA tournament, but I see Remy Martin leading the Sun Devils to the semi's.
Prediction: Arizona State

Semifinals
3/13- (4) USC vs (1) Oregon- 9:00, Pac-12: This is a sensational game between these two squads. The best player on the court is Payton Prichard and he'll lead the Ducks back to the Championship game.
Prediction: Oregon

3/13- (3) Arizona State vs (2) UCLA- 11:30, FS1: This is another great game between two very good teams. This was a tough call, but I'm going to take Chris Smith and the Bruins to advance.
Prediction: UCLA

Championship
3/14- (2) UCLA vs (1) Oregon- 10:30, FS1: This is a dream matchup of some sort in the conference title game. This will be a great game, but I see Prichard leading the Ducks to the auto-bid as the Bruins will get an at-large.
Prediction: Oregon
