On Monday, the newest edition of the Ferris Mower’s Men’s Basketball Coaches Poll, powered by USA TODAY Sports was released. With the Pac-12 Conference seemingly on standstill all across the board, the three schools in the poll remained the same.
UCLA, Arizona, and USC are in the top-10 still, and Arizona and UCLA remained at the same spots (No. 7 & No. 5, respectively).
USC moved up one spot to No. 8, mainly thanks to an Iowa State loss. The Trojans haven’t played since Dec. 18 but are likely going to get back on the court Thursday against Cal.

The Bruins have been stagnant too and haven’t played since Dec. 11 in a victory against Marquette. Arizona had a couple of weeks off before getting back to it with a victory over Washington on Monday night.
Besides those three teams, nobody else from the Pac-12 is even close. The Buffaloes are probably the best bet to sneak in, but they aren’t in the Others Receiving Votes category either.
The Buffs are 9-3 and were set to play Oregon on Monday before that game got postponed once again. The postponements just keep coming for the Pac-12, and for others in college basketball.
Besides Colorado, it might be a while before any other Pac-12 teams get votes. Oregon has been a disappointment, Cal, Washington State and Stanford are all a mixed bag too, as our latest edition of the Pac-12 power rankings suggests.
Nonetheless, it looks like there will be more Pac-12 teams in action this weekend if everything goes as planned, although anything can change at a moment’s notice.
