The Arizona Wildcats will start the Pac-12 tournament with a first round bye as they finished with the fourth seed overall. Arizona will be playing their first game on Thursday afternoon at 2:30 PM PT and will face the winner of UCLA-USC, who will play 24 hours previous. If they’re able to win their first game, Arizona then will face the number one seed in the tournament on Friday night. Arizona probably does need to win out if they hope on getting back to the NCAA tournament.

The Arizona St. Sun Devils will be starting their season as the No. 10 seed and will play the No. 7 Stanford Cardinal on Wednesday evening at 6 PM at the Staples Center. If they win, ASU will face the number two seed in the tournament on Thursday night 24 hours later.
