Was the 2021-2022 season the strongest in the history of the WCC? Will it be a 3-bid or 4-bid conference this March Madness?
The last time the West Coast Conference had 3 total bids to the NCAA Tournament was back in 2012 (would’ve occurred in 2020 if the tournament hadn’t been canceled). It looks like it will be going back to 3 bids from the WCC with Gonzaga, Saint Mary’s, and USF while BYU being a question mark. 4 bids aren’t completely out of the picture but it doesn’t seem likely at this point.
The overall strength of the top half of the conference is the strongest I’ve ever seen it.
