Morning links: Pac-12 sends four to the NCAA tournament
We knew that Arizona, Oregon and Utah were going to get NCAA berths, and most assumed that the Utes and Wildcats would be sent to Portland.
But not many pundits predicted UCLA would make the field of 68 teams, giving the Pac-12 four March Madness representatives. You can enjoy the madness yourself, and maybe win a gift card, by taking part in our bracket-picking contest.
Here is the full NIT field, which includes Arizona State and Stanford from the Pac-12.
If you're looking for a printable bracket, here is the most complete one I've seen. Colorado is headed to the CBI, but Askia Booker is not joining the Buffaloes.
The Washington State women will play in the WNIT tomorrow, hosting Eastern Washington.
