Now with 529 NCAA titles all-time, the Pac-12 has led all conferences in NCAA titles in each of the last 15 seasons and 54 of the last 60. Prior to the season ending early, both Pac-12 men's and women's basketball were enjoying strong campaigns with women's basketball holding a successful Conference tournament at Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas for the first time with near-sellout crowds. For women's basketball, the season ended with six Pac-12 teams ranked in the final Associated Press poll for the first time ever, as well as several individual highlights including Oregon's Sabrina Ionescu being named the consensus national player of the year, earning the honor from the Associated Press and Women's Basketball Coaches Association, among others. Men's basketball also enjoyed success with six teams reaching 20 total wins ahead of the season's cancellation. The successes heading into the spring followed a strong fall campaign that, in addition to Stanford's three NCAA titles, saw multiple Pac-12 football programs finish in the final Top 25 CFP standings with Oregon (No. 6), Utah (No. 11) and USC (No. 22), also claiming thrilling bowl victories from Washington (Las Vegas Bowl), California (Redbox Bowl) and Arizona State (Sun Bowl), while capping the year off with an Oregon Rose Bowl victory. These team accomplishments are in addition to multiple lauded individual recognitions with Oregon's Justin Herbert winning the Campbell Trophy and Penei Sewell earning the Outland Trophy as the top interior lineman. 3 NCAA CHAMPIONSHIPS 2 WOMEN'S NCAA TITLES 1 MEN'S NCAA TITLE
