UCLA and Arizona are at the top of the conference, but can anyone join them in the big dance?
The Pac-12 tournament kicks off on Wednesday, from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Two teams are locks for the tournament, as UCLA enters the Pac-12 tournament ranked second in the current AP Top 25, and Arizona checks in ranked eighth.
But whether another team, or two, joins them in the big dance will be determined over the next few days.

The franchise tag deadline was a nice appetizer before NFL free agency begins next week.
Good morning, I’m Dan Gartland. My apologies to the Knicks for totally jinxing them in yesterday’s newsletter. (The lowly Hornets snapped their winning streak at nine games last night.)

The Cowboys tagged Tony Pollard instead of Schultz, so the tight end is free to explore his options.
The tight end position was a complete disaster in fantasy football last season. Just one player (Travis Kelce) finished with over 300 PPR points, while only two others (T.J. Hockenson, George Kittle) hit the 200-point mark. Mark Andrews, who was the top tight end in 2021, scored fewer than 200 points. Heck, Taysom Hill (who plays both quarterback and tight end) was a top-10 player at the position last season.
One of the better tight ends in the league, Dalton Schultz, scored 142.

The Fighting Irish coach didn’t think the game featured an ‘A’ crew.
The Mike Brey era at Notre Dame came to a close on Tuesday night, with a 67–64 loss to Virginia Tech in the ACC men’s basketball tournament.
The Fighting Irish finished 11–21 with a 3–17 record in league play, finishing in the No. 14 spot in the league. The team will miss the NCAA tournament after a return to the Big Dance a year ago, which was Brey’s program’s first appearance since 2017.
Naturally, Brey spent time after the game reflecting on his time at Notre Dame, which dates back to 2000.
