The 2017–18 Pac-12 Conference men's basketball season began with practices in October 2017 followed by the 2017–18 NCAA Division I men's basketball season in November 10, 2017. The conference schedule began on December 29, 2017. The season was the seventh season under the Pac–12 Conference name and the 59th since the conference was established under its current charter as the Athletic Association of Western Universities in 1959. Including the history of the Pacific Coast Conference, which operated from 1915 to 1959 and is considered by the Pac-12 as a part of its own history, this was the Pac-12's 103rd season of basketball.[1]
Arizona won the regular season conference championship by two games over second-place USC.
The Pac-12 Tournament was held from March 7–10, 2018[2] at the T-Mobile Arena in Paradise, Nevada. Arizona defeated USC in the tournament championship. As a result, the Wildcats received the conference' automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.
Arizona, Arizona State, UCLA received bids to the NCAA Tournament. The conference achieved an 0–3 record in the Tournament.
The Schedule will be released in late September. Before the season, it was announced that for the sixth consecutive season, all regular season conference games and conference tournament games would be broadcast nationally by CBS Sports, FOX Sports, ESPN Inc. family of networks including ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPNU, and the Pac-12 Network.
