The West Coast Conference men’s basketball tournament reaches its high‑stakes semifinal round tonight at the Orleans Arena, and Las Vegas fans won’t have to look far to catch every moment of the action.
Two games stand between four teams and Tuesday’s conference championship, and both semifinals will be carried live on national television.
Game times and TV channels
According to the West Coast Conference, Monday night’s broadcast schedule is as follows:
Semifinal Game 1: 6 p.m., ESPN, Oregon State vs. Gonzaga
Featuring No. 1 seed Gonzaga, which enters as the league’s top team and perennial tournament heavyweight.
Semifinal Game 2: 8:30 p.m. on ESPN2, Santa Clara vs. Saint Mary’s
Featuring No. 2 seed Saint Mary’s, continuing its long-running rivalry with Gonzaga atop the conference.
Streaming options
For fans who prefer to watch on the go, both games will also be available for streaming through the ESPN app, consistent with conference broadcast arrangements for the 2026 tournament.
You’ll need a subscription to a participating TV provider to authenticate, but once logged in, the streams provide full live coverage from the Orleans Arena.
What’s at stake
Tonight’s winners advance to Tuesday’s championship game, continuing a long tradition of WCC dominance from the league’s top programs. Gonzaga and Saint Mary’s have appeared in nearly every title game since the tournament moved to Las Vegas — a trend they look to continue once again.
