It’s just about time for women’s basketball conference tournaments. This thrilling week of basketball gives teams from every conference in America a chance to secure a coveted automatic bid to the 2024 NCAA tournament.

Who will claim the throne in the Pac-12?
The Pac-12 parity is out of control. Fresh faces like USC and Oregon State are rising to stardom as top contenders — not only in the conference, but in the national picture as well. Both the Beavers and the Trojans have a great chance at winning the Pac-12 tournament title; in fact, it could be up in the air between at least six teams, including Stanford, Colorado, UCLA and Utah.
Stanford has stood alone atop the Pac-12 the past few years, but last year’s chaos set the tone when Washington State shocked the nation and went on an upset rampage in pursuit of its first Pac-12 tournament title. When it comes to who’s securing the 2024 Pac-12 Championship, your guess is as good as mine.
What a way to go out with a bang in the Pac-12’s last year.
