In a first for the Conference, the Pac-12 is coming off a season in which its top two regular-season finishers
Stanford
and
Arizona
met for the national championship. The 2021 title game was just the seventh time in NCAA womens basketball history that two teams from the same league met for a championship and was the first to feature two schools from west of the Mississippi River since 1986 (Texas vs. USC).
Over the last six seasons, the Pac-12 leads all conferences in Final Four appearances (6), NCAA Tournament wins (70), NCAA Tournament winning percentage (.707) and WBCA All-Americans (13). In the first year using the NCAA Evaluation Tool (NET) for womens basketball, four of the top 10 teams in the final NET rankings for 2021 were from the Pac-12 in national champion
Stanford
(No. 1), national runner-up
Arizona
(No. 7),
UCLA
(No. 8) and
Oregon
(No. 10), a total double any other league. The Pac-12 was also the nations top-rated conference by RPI in three of the final five seasons (2016, 2017, 2020) that metric was used by the Division I Womens Basketball Committee.
All 12 head coaches and two student-athletes from each school will be in San Francisco tomorrow to preview the upcoming season as part of
2021 Pac-12 Womens Basketball Media Days
. Complete coverage will be available across Pac-12 Networks,
