Given the recent modifications to the West Coast Conference (WCC) Tournament, a difficult path to postseason success awaited the University of San Diego men’s basketball team. Beginning this year, the teams with the worst records in WCC participate in the tournament’s first round, while the conference’s top two teams enjoy a double-bye in the six-day event.

As the tournament’s seventh seed out of 10 teams, a trip to the finals for USD (21-14, 7-10 WCC) would have required four victories in five days.
