Seeds

Eleven of the 12 Pac-12 teams are scheduled to compete in the tournament. The Arizona Wildcats will not compete in the tournament; the university self-imposed a postseason ban for the 2020-21 season due to ongoing NCAA investigations into corruption within the program.[2] Teams will be seeded by record within the conference, with tiebreakers in place to seed teams with identical conference records.[3] The top five teams will receive a bye to the quarterfinals.
