WAC Basketball Tournament Tickets
As one of the most far-reaching intercollegiate conferences, the nine Western Athletic Conference members span across several different states, from California to Nevada to Utah to Illinois. Watching the WAC Basketball Tournament is an experience that always pits long-standing teams such as New Mexico State University, Utah Valley University and Grand Canyon University against unexpected surprise teams. One such shocker was the victory of California State University, Bakersfield in the 2017 Championship. Going into the 2020 Tournament, the defending champion New Mexico State Aggies hope to defend their title. If they do defend against Utah Valley and Grand Canyon, it would make the victory their third consecutive conference title since 2018. However, the Western Athletic Conference is known for its constant shake-ups in the final championship game. The constant changes and surprises make the WAC Basketball Tournament live event a must-see for intercollegiate basketball fans.
