(PAC-12.COM) – Pac-12 Men’s Basketball secured four bids to the 2024 NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Championship on Sunday. Regular-season champion Arizona was rewarded with a No. 2 seed for the second consecutive year and was joined in the field by No. 7 seed Washington State, No. 10 seed Colorado, and 11th-seeded Pac-12 Tournament champion Oregon.

It marks the eighth time in the past 11 postseasons that the Pac-12 landed four or more teams in the Big Dance.

Coming off its improbable run to the Pac-12 Tournament championship on Saturday, Oregon (23-11) was placed into the field as a No. 11 seed to face sixth-seeded South Carolina on Thursday in Pittsburgh. The Ducks would face either No. 3 Creighton or No. 14 Akron on Saturday.

It marks the Ducks’ 13th consecutive postseason bid under head coach Dana Altman (8 NCAA, 4 NIT, 1 CBI). Oregon similarly stole the Pac-12’s automatic bid in 2019 and eventually advanced to the Sweet 16 as a double-digit seed (No. 12).
