At the onset of the season was a lot of ridicule about the Pac-12 Conference. And justifiably so. Outgoing commissioner Larry Scott leaves a league that has financially and competitively fallen behind. All of which makes the Pac-12 March Madness betting performance so stunning. Oregon State, UCLA, USC, and Oregon are in the Sweet Sixteen. It is the best showing of any conference in the nation. As a result, two of those Pac-12 teams will meet on Sunday. Oregon and USC will fight for an Elite Eight berth. Both teams are peaking at the perfect moment.
