NCAA Tournament History by School
The Pac-12 and its predecessor conferences produced some of the most
successful programs in college basketball history. UCLA leads the
former conference members in NCAA Tournament appearances and national
championships, while Arizona, Oregon, Stanford, California and Utah
have also won NCAA titles.
The table below follows the historical 12-school Pac-12 membership,
even though most of these programs now compete in other conferences.
Tournament appearances include each school's full NCAA Tournament
history, not only seasons played as a Pac-12 member.

About the Pac-12 NCAA Tournament Record
The Pac-12's basketball history extends through several predecessor
conferences, including the Pacific Coast Conference, Athletic
Association of Western Universities, Pac-8 and Pac-10.
The traditional 12-school version of the Pac-12 ended after the
2023-24 season. Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado and Utah moved to the
Big 12; UCLA, USC, Oregon and Washington moved to the Big Ten;
California and Stanford moved to the ACC; and Oregon State and
Washington State continued separately from the departing members.
Because this page is intended as a historical reference, the NCAA
Tournament accomplishments above remain grouped under the traditional
Pac-12 schools rather than their current conferences.
