2017 West Coast Conference Men's Basketball Tournament


The 2017 West Coast Conference Men's Basketball Tournament was a postseason men's basketball tournament for the West Coast Conference held March 3–7, 2017 at the Orleans Arena in Paradise, Nevada. Regular-season champion Gonzaga also won the WCC tournament, and with it the conference's automatic bid into the 2017 NCAA Tournament with a 74-56 win over Saint Mary's in the finals.
The WCC's eight-year tournament contract with Orleans Arena expired after the 2016 WCC Tournament, with the WCC looking to potentially moving the tournament to a different Las Vegas-area venue, keep it at the Orleans Arena, or move it elsewhere. In May 2016, the WCC announced that it reached an agreement on a new three-year contract with the Orleans Arena, which will run through the 2019 WCC year-end tournament.
