Some of the best teams on the West Coast in the country do battle starting this week in the Pac-10 Tournament, and here at Bankroll Sports, we have all of the ins and notes that you need to know before you make your Pac-10 Tournament picks for the big event.

The team that makes the most sense to capture the Pac-10 crown this season is the team that has been the most consistent all year long, the Arizona Wildcats (2 to 1 Odds to Win Pac-10 Tournament at SportBet Sportsbook). The U of A has found a way to beat all of the best teams in this conference, many more than once, and it has really shown that it has the most balanced team that the league has to offer as well. Of course, it really helps that Derrick Williams can come up with a double-double virtually every single time that he is on the court. There is certainly a lot to prove for the Cats, as they want to get the highest seed possible in the NCAA Tournament, but for a change, there is really no stress on this club about whether or not it will actually see its name called on Selection Sunday or not.

Then there are the Washington State Cougars (10 to 1 Pac-10 Tournament Odds at SportBet Sportsbook) and the USC Trojans (5 to 1 2011 Pac-10 Tournament odds at SportBet Sportsbook). We’re not all that sure if either one of these teams are really going to end up winning this tournament, but what we do know is that both need wins, and lots of them in a hurry. Is just one enough for either one? Possibly for USC… probably not for Wazzou. Should these two meet in the finale, it would be very, very interesting, especially since the Men of Troy just faced a bubble battle against the Cougs this past weekend.

The team that might have the most talent in the Pac-10 though, is the Washington Huskies (2.50 to 1 Pac-10 Tournament Lines at SportBet Sportsbook). It certainly isn’t a foregone conclusion that U-Dub already has its spot in the NCAA Tournament on lockdown this year, and a one and done situation in the Pac-10 Tournament could be devastating, especially if the bubble shrinks too much more than it already has. Tit for tat though, Head Coach Lorenzo Romar should be able to get the best out of his team. This is when the Huskies turned it on last year to get into the NCAA Tournament, and this might really be the case once again.
