Oregon (23-12) earned the automatic qualifying bid to the Big Dance thanks to an 8-game win streak that culminated Saturday with a 68-48 win over rival Washington in the Pac-12 Tournament Championship game.

Wisconsin reached the semifinals of the Big Ten Tournament, losing Saturday to eventual conference tournament champ Michigan State 67-55.
