SAN MATEO, Calif. -- The West Coast Conference announced its 2022-23 men's basketball conference schedule on Tuesday. The race for the WCC regular season crown will stretch over a nine-week span, featuring 16 conference games. Conference play is slated to begin on Thursday, December 29, 2022 and will conclude on Saturday, February 25, 2023.
This is the fifth season the WCC will play a 16-game schedule after changes adopted by the WCC Presidents' Council as part of the Conference's Men's Basketball Enhancement Plan prior to the start of the 2018-19 season. These schedule initiatives demonstrate the league-wide commitment by West Coast Conference Presidents and Athletic Directors to adopt an innovative approach to advance men's basketball on the national stage as a multiple NCAA bid Conference.
The WCC is coming off of one of the most successful men's basketball seasons in the history of the conference in 2021-22 that featured three teams in the NCAA Tournament, which tied a conference best. No. 1 seed Gonzaga advanced to the Round of 16, while Saint Mary's advanced to the second round and San Francisco competed in the national tournament for the first time since 1998. Six WCC teams in total competed in postseason play. In addition, the three NCAA Tournament bids in 2021-22 made the WCC a multi-bid conference in eight of the last 10 NCAA Tournaments in years in which the tournament was played (no tournament in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic).
The regular season tips off on Nov. 7 and the 2023 University Credit Union WCC Tournament will be held from March 2-7.
Specific game times and television details for each game will be announced at a later date.
