2023 WCC Tournament: Odds to win conference championship in Las Vegas

The West Coast Conference tournament will run from Thursday, March 2 to Tuesday, March 7 at Orleans Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. The No. 1 and No. 2 seeds, Gonzaga and Saint Mary’s, receive a bye to the semifinal round and will only have to win one game to reach the championship. Seeds 3 and 4 get a bye to the third round, seeds 5 and 6 get a bye to the second round, and seeds 7 through 10 will play in the first round — essentially, the lower you are, the more games you have to play.

As per usual, the Gonzaga Bulldogs and Saint Mary’s Gaels are the two favorites, but this year the Gaels enter as the chalk to win. The teams split during their regular season series, both winning on their home floor. Both schools also had a loss to Loyola Marymount as their only other conference blemish, so the No. 1 seed was determined by the NCAA’s NET rankings on the morning of February 26 via this projection. Saint Mary’s was No. 7 and Gonzaga No. 9.

But that ranking only matters for the semifinal opponent, and which color jersey each team will wear in the final if they (likely) face each other once again.

Below is the full list of each team’s odds to win the WCC tournament title:
