The West Coast Conference Basketball Championship brings its men's first round action to the Orleans Arena, where college hoops takes center stage in classic tournament fashion. This is where the road to the championship begins, with teams fighting through the bracket in a single-elimination format that makes every possession count. The Orleans Arena creates an intimate atmosphere for college basketball, letting you feel the energy of the student sections and hear the squeak of sneakers on hardwood.

First-round tournament games have a particular intensity – teams are still fresh, rotations are deep, and coaches are pulling out all the stops knowing one loss ends the season. The WCC consistently produces competitive basketball, with programs that regularly make noise in the national tournament. Whether you're watching a defensive battle or a high-scoring shootout, these games deliver the drama that makes March basketball special.
