The men's and women's tournaments have been combined, once again, with the first two rounds of the women's event taking place at Galen Center on March 7 and 8. The women head over to STAPLES Center, which has been the home of the men's tournament for 10 years, to see the new Pac-12 Champion crowned. The combination of the tournament will creates a fan-friendly, festival-like atmosphere for all to enjoy.

The Pac-12 Women's Basketball Tournament made its debut in 2002 and was held on the University of Oregon campus in Eugene, Ore. The Conference's premier women's sporting event then moved to HP Pavilion at San Jose for a six-year run (2003-08). The winner of the 12-team tournament receives the league's automatic bid to the NCAA Division I Women's Basketball Championship. The tournament seeding and Conference Champion are determined by the 18-game regular-season Pac-12 schedule.
