2013 West Coast Conference Tournament bracket and schedule

Teams will descend two by two in Las Vegas -- because of the prolonged format of the tournament -- for the West Coast Conference Tournament at the Orleans Hotel Arena.

Gonzaga, having run the table in WCC play at 16-0, joins Saint Mary's as the two teams who bye to the semifinals for the last time. Once Pacific joins the WCC in 2014, the top two seeds will only bye to the quarterfinals.

Interestingly, the only big change from 2012 was Santa Clara and Loyola Marymount switching places in the 4 and 9 spots (and less important, the swap between Saint Mary's and Gonzaga at 1 and 2).

Here is the graphical bracket and full schedule for the men's tournament:
