Updated 2013 NCAA Tournament Bracket Predictions
After upsetting USC in the first round and then taking down California in the second round, momentum is definitely on the side of Utah as the teams prepare for third round action. Now the Utes have to go up against an Oregon Ducks team that is trying hard to secure a good seed in the upcoming NCAA tournament. That is certainly going to be an interesting game on that side of the bracket.
The other side of the 2013 Pac-12 tournament brackets finished up according to plan, with UCLA and Arizona advancing in their first games. UCLA took care of a tough Arizona State team 80-75 and then Arizona beat Colorado 79-69 to put down any upset thoughts on that side. Now two of the top teams in the conference will meet up in the semifinals.
The action on Friday begins with UCLA vs. Arizona at 6 p.m. PT and continues with Oregon vs. Utah at 8:30 p.m. PT.
