Perhaps the most up-for-grabs conference tournament this weekend will be the 2010 Pac-10 Conference Tournament, which begins play on Wednesday.
Bet the 2010 Pac-10 Tournament
The 9-team tournament features one opening round game with seven teams already locked into Thursday’s quarterfinals. The championship will take place on Saturday. The tournament takes place from the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California.
With the top four teams separated by just three games, regular season champion California is a slight favorite to win this year’s title.
Oddsmakers from online sports book Brobury Sports have given Cal 8/5 odds to win. Other short odds to win are Washington (2/1), Arizona State (7/2), Arizona (13/2), and UCLA (13/2).
Cal is 21-9 on the season and 13-5 in the Pac-10 to earn the top seed this week. The Bears have yet to win a conference tournament title. The Bears have lost conference games to Oregon State, USC, Arizona, Washington, and UCLA.
Washington won the 2005 tournament title for its only championship. The Huskies are 21-9 overall and 11-7 in Pac-10 to earn the No. 3 seed in the tournament. The Huskies have won their last four games of the season and split with Cal in two games.
Arizona State has never won the Pac-10 Tournament. The Sun Devils are 22-9 overall and 12-6 in conference to earn the No. 2 seed. ASU has won six of its last seven games but lost three of four meetings with Cal and Washington.
Arizona has won four tournament titles, most of any Pac-10 team. The last came in 2002. The Wildcats are the No. 4 seed as they are 16-14 overall and 10-8 in the Pac-10. After losing five out of six games, Arizona ended the regular season with three-straight wins.
UCLA is a three-time tournament winner, with the last coming in 2008. The Bruins are 13-17 this year and 8-10 in the Pac-10 to earn the No. 5 seed. UCLA has lost three straight and six of its last eight but the Bruins do hold wins over Washington and Cal.
