In October, I wrote a pre-season Pac-12 Men’s BasketballPower Rankings, which attempted to rank every team in the conference leading up to one of the most unprecedented college basketball seasons in history. Now, with several conference games behind us, it’s time for a mid-season Pac-12 Power Rankings, starting with the teams I think will finish in the bottom half of the conference.
7. Arizona State (4-6, 1-3 Pac-12)

Makale Foreman had 12 points and Jarred Hyder scored 11 for Cal (7-8, 2-6 Pac-12).
Foreman hit a 3-pointer before Hyder made back-to-back layups in a 7-0 run to open the second half that pulled the Golden Bears within five, and a couple minutes later Ryan Betley hit a 3-pointer and then made 3 of 3 from the free-throw line to spark a 17-4 spurt that gave Cal the lead for good. Kuany Kuany hit a 3 to cap the spurt and made it 46-42 with 12 minutes to play.
Antecevic scored 10 points including back-to-back 3s in a 14-4 run that pushed the lead into double figures with six minutes to go.
