Pac-12 men’s and women’s basketball tournaments return to Las Vegas

The Pac-12 men’s and women’s basketball tournaments are returning to Las Vegas, according to multiple reports. The tournaments had previously been held in Las Vegas from 2013 through 2024. That arrangement changed after several teams left the conference, creating uncertainty about the tournament’s future. With the conference’s membership changing again, seven new schools are joining the Pac-12, prompting the conference to bring the postseason event back to Las Vegas. The decision involves both the men’s and women’s tournament, which are scheduled to be played in the city as the conference rebuilds its lineup. The reports describe the move as a return to a prior hosting arrangement rather than a first-time location, citing Las Vegas’s role as the tournament site during the 2013–24 period before the wider realignment that affected the conference.
