Tournament Notes

[edit]
  • Third seeded Arizona, became the first team to win that wasn't a #1 seed, in this tournament's history.
  • This was the last tournament held by the conference in the 20th Century.
  • This year's tournament had the lowest total attendance ever, and has not been held in the state of Arizona since.
  • California and Stanford became the first pair of any arch-rivals ever to meet in a Pac-10 Tournament.
  • The final game had a total 172 points scored (94-78) in a record high for a Pac-10/12 final game that still stands.
  • Arizona's 56 rebounds vs. USC set a tournament game record, which still stands.
  • UCLA and Oregon combined for 94 rebounds (49 and 45), a record for two teams in a tournament game, which still stands.
  • Arizona State's Isaac Austin set an individual tournament record for field goal %, making 79.1% (19 of 24 in 3 games), which still stands.
  • Oregon had 42 personal fouls in their loss to UCLA, setting a Pac-10 Tournament game record that still stands.
  • That game also set the combined personal foul single game record of 68 (42 for Oregon and 26 for UCLA) which also is the most to date.
  • Matt Muehlebach of Arizona was a perfect 3 of 3 (100%) for 3 point FGs vs. UCLA. This tied the individual 3 pt. FG% record set in 1987 by Greg Hill (Washington).
  • Oregon had their best seed (1) in any Pac-10/12 tournament in this year. This was their only time they have been top-seeded.
  • Four teams went on to play in the NCAA Tournament from the conference. The Pac-10 sent Arizona with the automatic bid. UCLA, Oregon St. and California also received at-large bids.
