Under the new format, the top 6 seeds earned a bye out of the first round while the 7 seed plays the 10 seed and the 8 seed plays the 9 seed. The first round, which began on a Thursday, aired on BYUtv. The 8 teams that advanced to the second round had a bye on Friday while the women's second round was completed. The men's second round became the quarterfinal round. It took place on Saturday and had the 1 seed playing the winner of the 8/9 game and the 2 seed playing the winner of the 7/10 game. The quarterfinals also featured the 3 seed playing the 6 seed, and the 4 seed playing the 5 seed. The two evening quarterfinal games aired on ESPN2 while the afternoon games aired on BYUtv. Continuing a normal procedure for WCC men's and women's tournaments, no games were played on Sunday. All conference members were founded as faith-based schools, and all but Pacific are financially supported by churches. Most significantly, BYU has a strict policy against Sunday play. Instead, the four remaining teams had an off day and prepared for the semifinals on Monday. The semifinals took place on Monday with the winner of 1/8/9 playing the winner of 4/5 and the winner of 2/7/10 playing the winner of 3/6. One of the semifinals aired on ESPN2, and the other aired on ESPN. The championship took place on Tuesday and featured the semifinal winners. As in recent years, the championship game was broadcast on ESPN and nationally on the radio by Westwood One.West Coast Conference Unveils 2014 Tournament Bracket http://grfx.cstv.com/photos/schools/west/genrel/auto_pdf/2011-12/misc_non_event/basketballtournamentbracket14.pdf West Coast Conference March 4, 2014 June 22, 2012 https://web.archive.org/web/20120622130127/http://grfx.cstv.com/photos/schools/west/genrel/auto_pdf/2011-12/misc_non_event/basketballtournamentbracket14.pdf dead Seeds WCC Tiebreaker procedures are as follows: Head-to-head Better record against a higher seed Higher RPI SeedSchoolConference Overall*Tiebreaker 1Gonzaga 15–3 25–62BYU 13–5 21–102–0 vs. USF3San Francisco 13–5 20–100–2 vs. BYU4Saint Mary's 11–7 21–105Pepperdine8–10 15–15 6San Diego 7–11 16–152–0 vs. Portland7Portland 7–11 15–150–2 vs. San Diego8Pacific 6–12 15–141–1 vs. BYU9Santa Clara6–12 13–18 0–2 vs. BYU 10Loyola Marymount 4–14 12–18 * Overall record at end of regular season Schedule SessionGameTime*Matchup# First round – Thursday, March 6116:00 pm#7 Portland vs. #10 Loyola Marymount28:00 pm#8 Pacific vs. #9 Santa Clara Quarterfinals – Saturday, March 82312:00 pm#3 San Francisco vs. #6 San Diego42:00 pm#2 BYU vs. #10 Loyola Marymount356:00 pm#1 Gonzaga vs. #9 Santa Clara68:00 pm#4 Saint Mary's vs. #5 Pepperdine Semifinals – Monday, March 10476:00 pm#1 Gonzaga vs. #4 Saint Mary's88:00 pm#2 BYU vs. #3 San Francisco Championship – Tuesday, March 11596:00 pm#1 Gonzaga vs. #2 BYU *Game times in PT. #-Rankings denote tournament seeding.
