The West Coast Conference Basketball Tournament moves to the state of Oregon as the University of Portland will host the conference's biggest event at the Chiles Center in 2007. For the fifth consecutive season, the men's championship will use an 8-Team/Play-In format, while the women's championship will use the traditional 1 vs. 8 format with no byes for the third straight year. The women will play March 1-4, 2007 and the men will square-off March 2-5, 2007.

The 2007 Championship is the final Northwest stint for the WCC Tournament, as the event will be held in Southern California in 2008 and 2009.

The WCC's premier event consists of 14 thrilling men's and women's games over a five-day period. The women's event features the WCC Women's Basketball Championship on March 4, 2007, while the entire event culminates with the nationally televised WCC Men's Basketball Championship Game on March 5th. This has traditionally been one of the most entertaining post-season tournaments in all of college basketball as fans and players alike will be treated to the intense and intimate basketball atmosphere of the Chiles Center.

A nationally recognized force in intercollegiate athletics, the West Coast Conference consists of Gonzaga University, Loyola Marymount University, Pepperdine University, University of Portland, Saint Mary's College, University of San Diego, University of San Francisco, and Santa Clara University.
