The UCLA Women’s Basketball team is heading to Seattle to battle with the rest of the conference in the 2017 Pac-12 Women’s Basketball Tournament and we have the information and preview for you!

Can you feel it? March Madness is upon us and the UCLA Women’s Basketball team is ready to rock! The Bruins look to continue their success after a 22-7, 13-5 season and are riding a four-game win streak as they head to Key Arena in Seattle for the 2017 Pac-12 Women’s Basketball Tournament.

The path is clear, but can they capture their first conference championship since 2006? Let us take a look…

It seems that there are four teams that have a legitimate shot to win the tourney: #1 Oregon State (27-3, 16-2), #2  Stanford (25-5, 15-3), #3 Washington (27-4, 15-3) and your Bruins. After UCLA there is a significant drop-off as #5 Arizona State is 9-9 in conference and four games back of the Bruins.

Still, this is March Madness and — wait for it — anything can happen.

Before we look at what UCLA needs to do to win their first Pac-12 Tournament Championship since 2005-06, let us look at the schedule. All games will be televised on the Pac-12 Network except the championship game which will be broadcast on ESPN2.

First Round, Thursday, March 2 (all times PT)
