2024-2025 WCC Tournament Dates Are Set

The biggest news coming from the West Coast Conference office about the tournament schedule is that you will be able to watch hoops on Sunday. No days off, six straight days of basketball from Thursday, March 6th to Tuesday, March 11th at the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Gonzaga is looking for revenge against rival Saint Mary’s in Sin City this upcoming March. The Gaels took down the Zags in the WCC Tournament championship game last season, 69-60. That was the program’s first conference tournament championship since 2019.

Both programs are predicted to finish as the top two seeds in the WCC Tournament once again. In that case, the Zags and the Gaels would be pushed straight to the semifinals on Monday, March 10th. The last time one of the two juggernauts didn’t end up winning the championship was in 2007-2008 when the San Diego Toreros were named the last team standing.

Will Washington State and Oregon State somehow disrupt the dominance of Gonzaga and Saint Mary’s in Las Vegas? Unlikely but who knows what’s going to happen as the two Pac-12 members try their luck in the WCC for the next two seasons.
