Coach Bobby Hurley did not have his entire roster for a sin- gle game in 2020-21 and the Sun Devils finished ninth in the Pac-12 at 7-10. Second-leading scorer Josh Christopher missed the final seven games of the regular sea- son with a back injury and fel- low freshman Marcus Bagley was in and out of the lineup due to injuries. Better Beavers Oregon State may have been the Pac-12’s most surprising team. The Beavers were expected to be in rebuilding mode and were picked to finish last in the preseason poll. Oregon State exceeded those projec- tions, finishing 14-12 overall and 10-10 in conference to end up sixth in the regular-season standings. The Beavers have one of the conference’s best players in Ethan Thompson and could be a tough out in the Pac-12 Tour- nament. No Arizona Arizona will not be in Las Vegas. The Wildcats self-imposed a postseason ban as the pro- gram awaits word on possible NCAA sanctions. Arizona was sent a notice of allegations by the NCAA last fall and asked for the case to go through the Independent Accountability Resolution Process. The case is ongoing and the Wildcats finished 17-9. Adjusted format With Arizona out of the bracket, the Pac-12 Tourna- ment was left with 11 teams, so the conference adjusted the format. Instead of the top four teams getting a first-round bye, the top five will this year, with the Nos. 4 and 5 seeds facing each other in the quarterfinals.

The 7-foot forward has been projected to be one of the top picks in the next NBA draft and has been dominant at times during what’s expected to be his lone season with the Trojans. Mobley was a unanimous selection as The Associated Press’ Pac-12 newcomer of the year after averaging 16.1 points per game and leading the Pac- 12 with 8.4 rebounds. He also led the conference with 2.8 blocked shots per game and was third in shooting percent- age at 58%. SPORTS BRIEFING BASKETBALL ESPN’s Joe Lunardi weighs in on how high Oregon men will be seeded in NCAA Tournament — Oregon could im- prove its NCAA Tournament seeding with a successful week in Las Vegas. ESPN Bracketologist Joe Lunardi has the Pac-12 reg- ular season champion Ducks (19-5, 14-4 Pac-12) as a No. 6 seed in his projected field of 68 on Tuesday and 23rd overall, down one spot from Monday. Should Oregon win the Pac-12 tourna- ment, which would likely mean multiple Quadrant 1 games to boost its resume, Lunardi believes UO could move up to a 5 seed. “I’m hearing from a lot of people that the Ducks are really good enough to be a top 4 line team — and they probably are from a basketball standpoint,” Lunardi said. Selection committee could take ‘reassessment’ of Oregon women’s tournament seeding — Oregon women’s basketball is trending in the wrong direction heading into Selec- tion Monday and it will likely cost the Ducks in terms of their NCAA Tournament seeding. Oregon (13-8) has lost five of its last six games, including back-to-back to surging Oregon State last week, and is expected to be without starting point guard Te-Hina Paopao for at least the first weekend of the NCAA tourney, if not the remainder of the postseason. ESPN bracketologist Charlie Creme weighed in on where he sees the Ducks less than a week before the field is set. “I think the ceiling now is probably a 6,” Creme said. “I suppose perhaps a 5. The committee seems to re- ally like Oregon and the NET certainly like Oregon, but it’s hard to get over the fact that they haven’t won a top 25 in (six) chances to do it and they haven’t played well at all in a really long time.” SOFTBALL Oregon softball moves into top 5 in polls — Oregon soft- ball moved into the top 5 in the polls after sweeping its four-game opening homestand. The Ducks (13-1) are No. 5 with 658 points in the NFCA coaches poll after beating Boise State and Portland State each twice last weekend, up from No. 6 with 636 points and the same spot with 393 points in the USA Softball poll last week. Oregon hosts another pair of doubleheaders against Nevada on Friday and Sacramento State and Oregon State on Saturday. FOOTBALL KU Jayhawks will pay Les Miles nearly $2 million of re- maining contract in settlement — Les Miles, who agreed to step down as Kansas Jayhawks football coach Monday night, days after sexual harassment allegations against him from his LSU tenure became public, will be paid nearly $2 million of his remaining contract. KU Athletics released the two sides’ set- tlement agreement Tuesday, with KU agreeing to pay Miles $1,991,062.50. Originally, Miles had about $8 million left on his KU contract that ran through 2023 and paid him $2.775 million annually. Both Miles and certain top KU employees agreed to non-disparagement clauses as part of the arrangement. — Bulletin wire reports
