There are just three games left in the NCAA men’s basketball tournament and the Pac-12 won’t be playing in any of them.

Batter up.

What was the best part of Arizona Basketball’s great week? Was it the two convincing wins leading to the school’s 16th Sweet 16? Was it the national exposure that comes with tournament victories, or the oh-by-the-way extra revenue?

Or maybe – just maybe – was it earning another week of TWit-Pac hoops?

Read on for the March Madness TV schedule (all times Arizona/Pacific) and – uh oh – Pac-12 baseball.

It’s 1986 all over again.

That was Lute Olson’s third season at Arizona and he won his first Pac-10 title only to receive just a 9-seed in the NCAA tournament. Second-place Washington was the only other team from the conference to get in and the Huskies were a 12.

We can’t even blame East Coast bias for the Pac-12’s low seeds this year. There are well-regarded teams out west but they happen to be in the West Coast Conference (#1 Gonzaga) and Mountain West (#3 New Mexico and #5 UNLV).

This Week in the Pac-12 (TWit-Pac) Marches on with the TV schedule (all times Arizona/Pacific) plus baseball down below.

Tournament time!

The Pac-12’s postseason basketball event has a fresh new home in Las Vegas. The fans are excited, the coaches are excited and the players are going to be locked in their hotel rooms with the curtains drawn and “Do not disturb” signs everywhere so nothing crazy happens.

Speaking of crazy, is it too late to get USC to bring back Kevin O’Neill for the week?

TWit-Pac has the TV schedule (all times Arizona/Pacific) and even a dose of baseball. March, baby! March!

The final week of the regular season is here and UCLA, Oregon and Cal all have a shot at the Pac-12 championship. One is the favorite, one needs a tough road win and one needs some help.

Meanwhile, the Arizona Wildcats are playing for rivalry pride, tournament seeding and their seniors.
