The 2017 West Coast Conference Men's Basketball Tournament is the postseason men's basketball tournament for the West Coast Conference and is held March 2–7, 2017 at the Orleans Arena in Paradise, Nevada.[1] The winner of the tournament will receive the conference's automatic bid into the 2017 NCAA Tournament.
After an eight-year contract with Orleans Arena, the WCC was looking to potentially change its venue to the MGM Grand Garden Arena, the T-Mobile Arena, keep it at the Orleans Arena, or move it elsewhere.[2] The WCC announced that it reached an agreement to keep its conference tournament at the Orleans Arena under a new three-year contract, which would run through 2019.[3]
