LOS ANGELES – LMU men's basketball will begin the 2024 Credit Union 1 WCC Men's Basketball Championship with a second-round matchup against the Portland Pilots on Friday night. The game will tip at 8:30 PM from the Orleans Arena and be available on both ESPN+ and KXLU.
 
Portland, LMU, and Pepperdine each finished the regular season with a Conference record of 5-11 and tied for sixth in the standings. The seed order for those three teams was determined through the WCC's tiebreaker process. Portland recorded a victory over No. 4 seed Santa Clara, while LMU and Pepperdine finished 0-2 against the Broncos, resulting in the Pilots securing the No. 6 seed. The final WCC tiebreaker rule, the NCAA NET rankings, was used to determine LMU's and Pepperdine's seeds, with LMU earning the No. 7 seed with a higher NET ranking than Pepperdine.
 
The first two rounds of the men's tournament and the first four rounds of the women's tournament will be broadcast on ESPN+. ESPN will televise the quarterfinals and semifinals of the men's tournament and the championship games of both the men's and women's tournaments.
 
The Championship will be held from March 7-12 at Orleans Arena in Las Vegas. Click here for ticket packages to the event.
