Welcome to our weekly look at Pac-12 basketball. We take a quick look at what happened in the past week and breakdown the best games in the week to come.

Top 3 upcoming games

Stanford Cardinal at N.C. State Wolfpack, Tuesday, 7:00 p.m., ESPN2: Stanford will carry the mantle for the Pac-12 conference with the only decent match-ups during this slow week leading up to Christmas. The Cardinal, currently sitting at three losses face a Wolfpack team that has disappointed so far, but still has a ton of talent.
Stanford Cardinal at Northwestern Wildcats, Friday, 7:00 p.m., Big Ten Network: In the second of big road contests for Stanford this week they take on Wildcat team with a road win over the Baylor Bears. At least we will know a lot more about Stanford by this weekend.
Arizona St. Sun Devils at Texas Tech Red Raiders, Saturday, 12:00 p.m.: Arizona State surprisingly sits at 9-2 with their only losses coming to #14 Creighton and DePaul. They have yet to play a true road game yet however until this match-up in Lubbock against a team coming off an awful loss to McNeese State.
