A college basketball sojourn to Las Vegas can be pretty memorable, but the league itself playing there has been forgettable as P5 conferences go this season. Colorado, Oregon, and Arizona will all be in the NCAA Tournament, with Arizona State and USC potentially still able to fight their way into the field with a good finish and a quality run in tis tournament. But everyone else will need to take home the crown if they want to be in the Big Dance.
