Not only can Arizona clinch a share of the Pac-12 regular-season title by beating Arizona State on Saturday, but it might also give the Wildcats a chance to β¦ face the Sun Devils again next Thursday.Β
If UA wins and Oregon beats Oregon State on Saturday, the Wildcats will finish in a tie with the Ducks but receive the Pac-12 Tournamentβs No. 2 seed next week because Oregon beat them on Feb. 4 in Eugene. The Oregon-OSU game will tip off immediately after the UA-ASU game.
The No. 2 seed will face the winner of the No. 7 vs. No. 10 game on Thursday in Las Vegas β and ASU sits in a tie for seventh place with Colorado entering Saturdayβs games but has the tiebreaker edge because it beat the Buffaloes in their lone matchup.
Stanford and WSU are tied for ninth place but Stanford has the tiebreaker edge because it beat the Cougars in their only matchup. That tie could hold up because both teams are expected to lose Saturday: WSU at UCLA, and Stanford at Utah.Β
