How the Pac-12 fared in Sweet 16 games (1979-2016)

Arizona 10-6. UA’s Sweet 16 foes a who’s who of college hoops: Duke, Kansas, Louisville, Notre Dame.

UCLA 8-7. Hard to believe Bruins are just over .500.

Utah 2-6. Utes took down No. 1 Stanford in 1997 Sweet 16.

Stanford 2-3. The Cardinal limited No. 2 seed Purdue to 31 percent shooting to win a 1998 upset.

Oregon State 1-0. Only Sweet 16 win for OSU in the Pac-10/12 era was against Idaho in 1982.

Oregon 3-1. Ducks might consider last year’s Sweet 16 win over Duke as most important game of their modern years.

Arizona State 0-1. The Sun Devils had players named Veal, Bacon and Capers in their lineup in a 1995 Sweet 16 loss to top-seeded Kentucky 97-73.

Cal 0-2. The Bears didn’t get an easy path, losing to No. 2 Kansas in 1993 and No. 1 North Carolina in 1997.

Washington 0-5. The Huskies’ best chance to win a Sweet 16 game was in 2006 when they led No. 1 UConn 45-40 at half but lost 98-92.

Washington State 0-1. The Cougars reached the Sweet 16 in 2008 but only shot 31 percent in a 60-47 loss to No. 1 North Carolina.

USC 1-1. The Trojans upset No. 2 seed Kentucky in 2001 as David Bluthenthal scored 27 points and made six treys.

Colorado 0-0. The Buffaloes last played in a Sweet 16 game in 1969, and lost it to rival Colorado State.
