Tournament Notes
This was the first tournament in 3 years in which the top two seeds didn't play in the final game.
UCLA's 19-point margin of victory over Cal (71-52) is one of the largest in this tournament's history for the championship game.
California had someone selected for the All Tournament team for the first time. Two players were in fact selected.
Leon Powe of Cal made a record total 30 free throws for a single Pac-10/12 tournament (30-of-41, 3 games). This record still stands.
Leon Powe's 41 FT attempts for those games is also a tournament record.2013-14 Pac-12 Men’s Basketball Media Guide
