The Pac-12 Conference announced Monday the weekly conference matchups and their site designations for the 2018-2019 men’s basketball season.

The announcement indicates the pairings and their home/away designation for each week of the Pac-12 regular season, which are determined by an annual 18-game rotation model. The exact dates and times of the games will be announced later this summer.

The regular season will tip off no earlier than Jan. 2, 2019. Opening week includes rivalry games between Washington-Washington State and Oregon-Oregon State.

The Huskies and Cougars will face off during the week of February 13-17.

Early media rankings feature six Pac-12 teams — Washington, USC, UCLA, Oregon, Colorado, and Arizona State — in the top 25.

After the conclusion of the regular season on Saturday, March 9, the Pac-12 tournament will be played at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas from March 13-16.
