Pac-12 women’s basketball tournament leaving Seattle and moving to Las Vegas in 2019

After a six-year run in Seattle, the Pac-12 women’s basketball tournament is moving to Las Vegas in 2019.

Due to the pending $600 million renovations at KeyArena, Commissioner Larry Scott said Thursday the women’s tournament will be played at MGM Grand Arena next year and the Mandalay Bay Events Center in 2020.

Scott also announced a one-year extension on a deal that will keep the men’s tournament at T-Mobile Arena until 2020.

It will be the first time the men’s and women’s basketball tournaments were in the same city since they were held in Los Angeles in 2012.
