A potential second-round matchup with the No. 6 BYU Cougars brings up old memories when BYU was in the West Coast Conference from 2011 to 2023.

As for the other current members of the West Coast Conference, the Santa Clara Broncos are the No. 10 seed in the Midwest region and will be going up against the No. 7 Kentucky Wildcats from the Southeastern Conference at the Enterprise Center in Saint Louis, Missouri, on Friday, March 20. This is the first time that Santa Clara has made the Big Dance since 1996.

The Saint Mary’s Gaels make their fifth-straight appearance in March Madness, receiving the No. 7 seed in the South region, and have to prepare for the No. 10 Texas A&M Aggies, also out of the Southeastern Conference, at the Paycom Center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, on Thursday, March 19.

No better feeling than watching the three-bid West Coast Conference come into fruition.
