The Best Defensive Teams in the Pac-10

The Pac-10 will probably end up sending about six or so teams to the NCAA Tournament, but before that can happen, they will all have to close out the season in the Pac-10 Tournament later this month at the Staples Center. When they get there, the teams will do scouting reports on one another to determine their respective strengths and weaknesses. Since they will all be trying to get the Pac-10 championship, and as we all know, defense wins championships, it makes sense that the team with the best defense will win the conference title. Right? Right. So here they are, the best defensive teams in the Pac-10. We used the info at basketball-prospectus.com, combined with our own secret rankings recipe.
