SAN MATEO, Calif. — The West Coast Conference has announced the 16 conference matchups for each of its 10 men's basketball teams for the 2021-22 season. This is the fourth season the WCC will play a 16-game schedule after changes adopted by the WCC Presidents' Council as part of the Conference's Men's Basketball Enhancement Plan prior to the start of the 2018-19 season.
These schedule initiatives demonstrate the league-wide commitment by West Coast Conference Presidents and Athletic Directors to adopt an innovative approach to advance men's basketball on the national stage as a multiple NCAA bid Conference.
The matchups detailed below designate the 16-game home and away opponents for the upcoming season based on a Conference formula including the 2019-20 & 2020-21 team NET rankings, last year's University Credit Union WCC tournament seedings, and a spring survey of the league's 10 head coaches.

In a change from recent seasons, the Gaels will be making their first trip to Portland in the last four seasons, but will not host Portland in 2021-22. Saint Mary's will play Pacific just once, a home contest, and will not be making the trip to Stockton. As has been the case in recent years, the Gaels will get two matchups against high-profile opponents like BYU and national-runner-up Gonzaga.
