The UCLA Bruins, led by Mick Cronin, and the Arizona Wildcats under Tommy Lloyd, have the best chance—and the only realistic chance—to end that drought.
On today’s episode of Locked On Pac-12, I’m joined by ‘Locked On UCLA’ host Zach Anderson-Yoxsimer.
UCLA has the fourth-best odds to win the National Championship in basketball this year but might need some help along the way.
Arizona is the other team—and, frankly, the only other notable team—the Pac-12 sends to March Madness this year with a chance to make a run.
Plus, we answer the question, “what has gone wrong with Pac-12 basketball?”
