WSU to face Cal in Pac-12 tournament

Washington State earned a 9-seed in next week's Pac-12 tournament and a noon matchup on Wednesday against 8-seeded California.

The Cougars split their matchups with the Golden Bears this season, winning 69-66 in Berkeley but falling 76-67 in Pullman. The winner of that game will face No. 1 Arizona, which beat WSU 86-59 in the teams' only contest this season.

Top-seeded Arizona, second-seeded Oregon, third-seeded Utah and fourth-seeded UCLA all have first-round byes. The Utes gave up a two-seed by losing to 11th-seeded Washington on Saturday.

The Huskies will face Stanford on Wednesday for the right to a rematch against the Utes while USC and Arizona State will play to face UCLA on Thursday and 10th-seeded Colorado will take on 7-seed Oregon State with the winner playing the Ducks.

All the matchups and times are available here.
