Full WCC Tournament Bracket and Times Revealed; BYU Men’s and Women’s Teams Receive 2 Seed

BYU’s Men’s and Women’s teams both officially received 2 seeds and a double bye to the WCC Tournament semifinals in the bracket released Sunday morning.

Men’s bracket:

Women’s Bracket:

Mark Pope’s squad is the 2 seed for the second consecutive year and will play its first game Monday, 3/8 at 9PM PST (yes, the tip off is that late). BYU is considered a lock by all accounts to the NCAA Tournament but has a chance to get a 7 seed with a win in the semifinals and possibly even a 6 seed if they upset Gonzaga in the finals.

BYU is likely to face either 3 seed Pepperdine in the semifinals — with whom BYU split the regular season series — or 6 seed Pacific. Pacific pushed BYU to double OT in Provo before BYU walloped them in Stockton.

BYU has not won a conference tournament title since 2001.

Below is the full schedule for the tournament, courtesy of the WCC’s official website. BYU Women’s team will play Monday, 3/8 at 2PM PST on BYUtv and the men’s team at 9PM PST on ESPN2.
