Up next: Conference season kicks off on Friday

All twelve of the Pac-12 teams step on the court Friday to begin the conference season.

The good news for the Cardinal: They begin conference play at home.

The bad news: They continue their grueling schedule with a game against the team that has been predicted to win the Pac-12 — that would be UCLA — on Friday evening at 5:30, followed by a game against USC on Sunday afternoon at 1:00 pm.

There will be a chalk talk before each game in Kissick Auditorium

The media coverage for both games is:

• TV: Pac-12 Networks
• Video: Pac-12 Live
• Audio: Stanford All-Access, Sidearm Sports
• Stats: Stanford Live Stats, Sidearm Sports

The San Francisco Chronicle has published a collection of articles that evaluate the Pac-12 Teams:

• Stanford women may be tournament team, but they’re struggling as Pac-12 begins

• Cal women thrive even though Kristine Anigwe has not been at top of her game

• Oregon, UCLA appear strongest of Pac-12 women’s teams
