(As usual, I plan on using this thread for all games as the Buffs (hopefully) advance at this year's tournament. I'm posting a little earlier than normal as I saw the nice Pac 12 release (see below) has already posted a nice release about the tourney.)
Buff lacrosse (9-7 overall, 7-3 in Pac 12 play) starts off tournament play against the Oregon Ducks (5-11, 1-9). (Even with the relatively comfortable win over Oregon yesterday, I'd assume/ hope the relatively recent memories of having to score the last 2 goals in regulation before winning in overtime in Eugene less than a month ago, and the Ducks upsetting the Buffs to knock them out in the 1st round of last year's Pac 12, will keep CU VERY intense (while still being loose) when they face off with the Ducks on Wednesday.)
Looks like all tournament games will be shown on many Pac 12 Network channels. (See bottom of this post for more information and links.)

SAN FRANCISCO - The bracket for the 2023 Pac-12 Women's Lacrosse Tournament is set, with USC securing the No. 1 seed after taking the regular season crown.
California is hosting the event, which is set to take place at California Memorial Stadium from May 3-6, and is open to the public. All five matches of the 2023 Pac-12 Women's Lacrosse Tournament will be broadcast on Pac-12 Network and the Pac-12 Now app, with Troy Clardy and Kara Lentz on the call all tournament long. A full schedule can be found below and at Pac-12.com.
The No. 20 Trojans (14-3, 9-1 Pac-12) finished atop the Pac-12 standings for the title, their second outright Pac-12 crown and first since 2019. USC boasts one of the best defenses in the country this season, allowing just 8.31 goals per game which is the fifth-fewest in Division I. The Trojans went undefeated (8-0) at home this year, the fourth time in program history they’ve accomplished that feat.
STANFORD (10-7, 8-2 Pac-12) gets its third-straight first-round bye after earning the No. 2 seed. Despite having one of the toughest schedules in the country, the Cardinal posted its ninth-straight double-digit win season* and is eyeing its 12th NCAA Tournament berth.
COLORADO (9-7) will be the No. 3 seed after going 7-3 in league action, its most Pac-12 wins since 2019. The Buffs earned their 100th win in program history earlier this year, which came in an upset of then-No. 21 Stanford. Colorado is led by Charlie Rudy, who paces the Conference of Champions in goals with 61.
ARIZONA STATE (5-12, 3-7 Pac-12) will be the No. 4 seed, looking to make back-to-back appearances in the Pac-12 championship game after reaching the tournament final a season ago.
Host CALIFORNIA (5-12, 2-8 Pac-12) and OREGON (5-11, 1-9 Pac-12) will serve as the fifth and sixth seeds, respectively. The Golden Bears will have their best seed at the Pac-12 Tournament since 2019, while the Ducks are led by Morgan McCarthy and Gabby Cleveland, who have each scored 30 or more goals.
The tournament champion will receive the Pac-12's automatic bid to the 29-teamNCAA Tournament. The Pac-12 has sent two or more teams to the NCAA Tournament in three of the last four opportunities.
*Excluding the COVID-shortened 2020 season.
