The full 2012 Pac-12 tournament TV schedule is out, as are the brackets, which begin on Wednesday afternoon (March 7) at Staples Center. The Washington Huskies come into the tournament as the top seed and they are also the defending Pac-12 tournament champions. The Huskies could potentially do it again, especially with a nice placement in the second round due to a first round bye.
There are four games in the first round, played out by the schools seeded No. 5 through No. 12. The winners advance to face one of the top four seeds that await in the quarterfinals. The winner of the conference tournament championship game will also get an automatic spot in the 2012 NCAA tournament later in March.
