Pac-12 Announces 2021-22 Women’s Basketball Weekly Pairings
TUCSON, Ariz. – The Pac-12 Conference has released the weekly matchups and site designations for the league's 2021-22 women's basketball season.
The announcement reflects the games being played and the home/away designations each weekend of the Pac-12 regular season. Specific dates and times for each game will be announced after television selections are finalized. Some games may shift outside of the Conference's traditional Friday-Sunday windows pending those television selections and other factors.
Games on the final weekend of the regular season are scheduled for Thursday, Feb. 24 and Saturday, Feb. 26, to avoid a quick turnaround for teams playing on the first day of the Pac-12 Tournament. Announced in mid-June, the Conference's postseason event has been permanently modified to feature an open date on Saturday, with 11 games spread out over five days. Days of competition will be Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday. The 2022 Pac-12 Women's Basketball Tournament, presented by New York Life, is scheduled for March 2-6 at Michelob ULTRA Arena at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.
The Wildcats are coming off their best season in program history after a historic run to the national title game, where the game came down to the final shot. Arizona returns key players such as Sam Thomas, Cate Reese, Bendu Yeaney, Helena Pueyo, Olympian Shaina Pellington and Gold Medalist Lauren Ware while Adia Barnes brought in some impact newcomers, such as Taylor Chavez, Koi Love and Ariyah Copeland.
