SAN BRUNO, Calif. – With the conclusion of the men's and women's basketball regular season on Saturday, brackets are finalized for the 2021 University Credit Union West Coast Conference Championships, which begin on Thursday at the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas.

The Santa Clara women's team (13-10, 9-8) is seeded No. 4 and will take on either fifth-seeded Portland or the winner of No. 8 seed Portland and ninth-seeded Pepperdine on Saturday at 11 a.m.

The Bronco men (10-7, 4-5) are the No. 7 seed and face 10th-seeded Portland (6-14, 0-11) Thursday at 9 p.m. The winner faces No. 6 seed Pacific the following day at the same time.

This season, conference seeding was determined by the Ken Pomeroy Conference Adjusted Winning Percentage. The women were fifth in the ranking, but with San Diego (No. 4) unable to compete due to COVID-19 protocol all teams below the Toreros were bumped up one spot.

The tournament will finish March 9 with the men's and women's championship games.
