Pac-12 Men's Basketball Tournament

Pride and a guaranteed spot in the NCAA tournament are on the line every March in the Pac-12 Men's Basketball Tournament. All 12 teams in the Pac-12 Conference are eligible to participate, with the top four teams receiving a first-round bye, giving every team a shot at making the Big Dance. After an 11 year run at the Los Angeles' Staples Center, since 2013 the Pac-12 Tournament has been held on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada: First at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, then moving to the T-Mobile Arena in 2017 (which seats 18,000 for basketball).

Pac-12 Men's Basketball Tournament History

The Pac-12 Conference was originally founded in 1959 as the Athletic Association of Western Universities, but it has ties to the Pacific Coast Conference, which existed from 1915 to 1959. What was first dubbed the Pac-8 became the Pac-10 in 1978, with the addition of Arizona and Arizona State, and further realignment in 2011 led to the inclusion of Utah and Colorado, and the current moniker. The Pac-12 has won 15 NCAA championships, tying the Atlantic Coast Conference for the most titles by a conference.

After an initial attempt at a Pac-10 Conference Tournament from 1987 to 1990, the format was reintroduced in 2002 with greater success. The Pac-10 was among the last conferences to adopt a conference tournament format, with the Big Ten introducing its tournament in 1998, and the Ivy League finally getting one in 2017. UCLA won the inaugural tournament in 1987, with Reggie Miller securing the Pac-10 tourney's first MVP award. Arizona won the next four tournaments, including the last three in the original series and its reintroduction in 2002. Many stars and legends have dominated in the tournament, including two-time MVPs Sean Elliott and Isaiah Thomas, as well as 2018 No. 1 NBA draft pick Deandre Ayton. The 2019 tournament saw Oregon upset Washington 68-48 in the championship, behind the performance of tourney MVP Payton Pritchard.

    The event is always great, we go down every year. The buying process is an absolute nightmare though. You have to buy the full tournament pass, or you are out of luck.

    Pac 12-Hopefully it will be better next year

    by UteFan78910 on 3/14/16MGM Grand Garden Arena - Las Vegas

    This venue is not the greatest. Parking is awful, access to the arena is awful. The food offered in the arena is sub par. There should be more choices for people who are there for 4 basketball games in a day. The food court at the MGM has terrible, overpriced food. The switch over between games is very chaotic and extremely cramped. Security was rude and were telling people some people the same thing was okay to bring and others it wasn't. I am hoping with the change of Venue next year it will be much better and there will be a lot less scalping so true fans that aren't millionaires can get decent seats.

    We had seats in the upper, upper sections because we could not get seats on Ticketmaster in the lower bowl. HOWEVER, there were lots of open seats in the lower bowl at gametime which were obviously saved or not in circulation to the general public. And then to offer a "seat upgrade" in the arena right before the contest, it did not go over very well with the people in the arena. In fact they "boo'd" the upgrade. You would do better releasing those lower bowl seats to people that want to attend. You might even sell out if it was done correctly.
