Last night marked the end of Pac-12 basketball. I'm choosing not to cry because it is over but to smile because it happened. True to form, the conference gave us one more wild ending before it took its dying breath.

The Oregon Ducks upset the Colorado Buffaloes to win the conference tournament and secure a birth in the NCAA men's basketball tournament. One more school from the Conference of Champions is always good in my book, especially when it is a sneaker standout.

I do not know how long the Ducks will last in the Big Dance, but they are sure to add more excitement to March Madness with their endless rotation of Nike footwear. Below are six sneakers fans can expect to see the Ducks trot out this coming week.
