Pac-12 Basketball fans have little (if anything at all) to rejoice as the days become grimmer by the hour. Here are the tiers of the conference.

1. Arizona State

You know what’s relatable? This Jon Rothstein tweet.

I love Jon Rothstein and if he was an analyst at the professional level rather than the college level, he’d be the single greatest meme to ever brace the planet. He’s a hidden treasure to most, but a glorified one to those who follow college basketball religiously.

He’s sent this tweet off about 45 times since the season started and I wish I was exxagerating. You know what, though? He’s right. BOBBY ******* HURLEY. He’s the Vito Corleone of November and December. He just gets it done. The problem with Vito though…he…um…dies. So you’re in for a fantastic first two hours with Marlon Brando, and then like that he’s gone, Verbal Kent style; and we’re just left with the still stellar remaining cast.

So until Arizona inevitably beats ASU in a few weeks, they can bathe in the spoils of non-conference success. Just know, Bobby, a feisty Sean Miller is chomping at the bit, ready to devour your army of transfers and freshmen with a phalanx of his own.
