Pac-12 basketball standings: 2023 records, rankings, tiebreaker rules, remaining schedule

As college basketball steers its way through the most intense stages of the regular-season, there are a number of teams that still need to prove their ceiling before March comes along.

The Pac-12 is certainly a multi-bid league, with both UCLA and Arizona likely safely wearing white uniforms on in their first NCAA game. But the rest of the league is fighting for additional bids that could be a challenge to come by on Selection Sunday.

In the Pac-12, the UCLA Bruins have snuck away from the rest of the competition with a perfect 7-0 conference record. The Bruins once again escaped defeat in a comeback effort against Colorado last Saturday, and have proved to be one of the smoothest teams from behind the arc in the country. Arizona State trails UCLA in the conference at 6-1, flirting with top-25 ranking at 15-3 overall. Oregon shockingly dominated No. 9 Arizona over the weekend, giving them some appeal moving forward, as well.

Here are the latest standings in the Pac-12 ahead of the 2023 Pac-12 Tournament, scheduled to be held at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, NV from March 8-11.
