The number of Pac-12 teams that made it into the NCAA Tournament were announced on Monday, and to the surprise of some, there were just four with no mention of the Oregon Ducks.

None of the teams were from the State of Oregon leaving out both the Oregon Ducks, who ended the season in a two game losing streak at Stanford, and the team that thought they had a chance in the Oregon State Beavers, who had a better record and were just ahead of the Ducks in the Standings.

It has been a very odd year in the Pac-12. Every team pretty much had an opportunity in the final few weeks to take the Conference Title. In the end, it went to Utah, who earned the Automatic Bid according to the Register Guard..

Arizona, Arizona State and Washington rounded out the four teams from the Conference that will get the chance to earn a trip to Omaha and the College World Series. None of the selected Pac-12 teams earned a host spot, which means they will all face the task of being a Pac-12 Road team, which sometimes is not the easiest to overcome in the post season.
