Pac-12 Tournament 2015: Oregon vs. Arizona TV Schedule, Live Stream, Predictions

R. Cory SmithMar 14, 2015

Remember Wednesday? Remember when there was a wealth of underdogs pulling out shocking wins?

The Pac-12 tournament championship game might not have any surprising teams remaining, but there were plenty of fireworks to get to this point.

The Arizona Wildcats and UCLA Bruins went back and forth during their semifinal matchup before the Wildcats finally put away the team that has knocked them out in the last two years. The Oregon Ducks went down to the wire with the Utah Utes before Pac-12 Player of the Year Joseph Young drained a three to advance.

Now, the worthy No. 1 and No. 2 seeds will do battle for the right to claim the tournament crown. Before the game officially takes place, here's a look at the full schedule and a prediction.

Pac-12 Championship Game Information

Where: MGM Grand, Las Vegas, Nevada

When: Saturday, March 14

Start Time: 8 p.m. PT/11 p.m. ET

TV: ESPN

Live Stream: WatchESPN

Prediction

Arizona is making its fourth visit to the Pac-12 championship game in the last five years. During that stretch, the Wildcats are 0-4 when playing in the finale.

Young will be looking to make that 0-5.

The sensational senior has been on fire recently and doesn't appear to be cooling off anytime soon. What he did Friday night put an exclamation mark on an already-huge tournament. ESPN College Basketball provides the highlight (cover your eyes, Utah fans):

Rather than driving into the lane, Young had enough confidence to pull up from 25 feet away to hit the dagger. Young has been doing things like that all season, but his 55 points in the tourney thus far prove he's able to do it on the big stage.

On the other side, Stanley Johnson is the clear star for the Wildcats. He deserves that title as the leading scorer (14.1 points per game) and rebounder (6.6) this season. The cast around him has been special at the end of the season into the conference tournament.

Point guard T.J. McConnell had a memorable performance in the semifinal, as Jeff Goodman of ESPN points out:

Ultimately, the depth for Arizona will end up being what propels it to a third straight win over Oregon this season. Having Johnson, Brandon Ashley and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson with McConnell distributing the ball, the Wildcats can take down any team in the country.

Despite the recent woes for Arizona in the championship game, the program will finally get over the hump Saturday night. Even against one of the top guards in the country, the Wildcats will make the No. 1 seed discussion even more interesting with a triumph over Oregon.

Prediction: Arizona 76, Oregon 68
