Pac-12 Basketball conference weekly pairings released

The weekly Pac-12 basketball conference pairings have been released with some interesting quirks for the Colorado Buffaloes. Right out of the gate the Buffs head to Utah, Arizona and Arizona State in an extremely tough start to the Pac-12 season. However, the Buffaloes finish the season with three home games against Utah, Cal and Stanford and they avoid a trip to Los Angeles this year.

Also, Arizona and Arizona State miss out on the mountain road trip this season, a scheduling bonus for the Wildcats that could have big conference title ramifications.
