Pac-12 women’s basketball standings: USC is in the NCAA Tournament mix, and every game is big

Now that #USC is a threat to make the NCAA Tournament, we’re going to pay closer attention to the #Pac12 WBB standings. USC faces Washington State on Friday.

The Pac-12 season is going well for the USC women’s basketball team.

The Trojan women’s team made headlines when they stunned No. 2 Stanford and went right into Charlie Creme’s latest ESPN bracketology. They are in the field according to Creme’s new projections.

Right now, Creme has eight teams from the Pac-12 being projected to make the NCAA Tournament, and the Stanford team USC just defeated is still one of the best women’s teams in the country, in line for a No. 1 seed in March.

With January halfway over and the college basketball season getting even more intense, let us examine the standings for the Pac-12 on the women’s side.

USC has a lot of room to make up, and the schedule in the next couple of weeks will be difficult. The difficulty of the slate makes every game vital. The Trojans face Washington State on Friday and then Washington on Sunday.
