The New Pac-12
The Pac-12 entered a major transition after the 2023-24 season.
Oregon State and Washington State remained members of the Pac-12,
but both schools competed as affiliate members of the West Coast
Conference in men's basketball during the 2024-25 and 2025-26 seasons.
As a result, there was no Pac-12 men's basketball regular-season
champion or Pac-12 men's basketball tournament in either 2025 or 2026.
The rebuilt Pac-12 officially launched for the 2026-27 season with
nine full members:
Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State, Gonzaga,
Oregon State, San Diego State, Texas State, Utah State and
Washington State.
The Pac-12 men's and women's basketball tournaments are scheduled
to return to Las Vegas beginning with the new conference era.
Pac-12 Men's Basketball Tournament Champions
The conference held its first postseason men's basketball tournament
in 1987. The tournament was discontinued after 1990 before returning
in 2002. It was played annually through 2024, except for the 2020
tournament, which was canceled.

Pac-12 Men's Basketball Notes
The conference has competed under several names during its history,
including the Pacific Coast Conference, Athletic Association
of Western Universities, Pac-8, Pac-10 and Pac-12.
The original Pac-12 men's basketball era ended after the 2023-24
season following major conference realignment. Arizona won the final
regular-season championship of that era, while Oregon won the final
tournament in March 2024.
Oregon defeated Colorado 75-68 in the 2024 championship game at
T-Mobile Arena, with N'Faly Dante earning tournament MVP honors.
The conference did not conduct a men's basketball tournament in
2025 or 2026. The tournament is scheduled to return with the rebuilt
Pac-12 beginning in 2026-27.
