The 2023 Pacific West Conference Men’s and Women’s Basketball Championships will take place starting this Thursday at McCabe Gymnasium for the first time ever with Chaminade University serving as the tournament host.

The Silverswords are the No. 6 seed and will face defending PacWest Tournament champion and third-seeded Academy of Art in Thursday’s 5 p.m. quarterfinal.

Point Loma is the No. 1 seed. With a 20-0 conference mark, the Sea Lions are the first team in the PacWest since BYU-Hawai’i in 2008-09 to finish a conference slate undefeated.

Hawai’i Hilo, the No. 4 seed, is the other local team in the men’s field and will face fifth-seeded Biola in the other quarterfinal at 7:15 p.m.

On the women’s side, Azusa Pacific is the top seed for the second straight season. No. 6 seed Hawai’i Pacific is the only local squad to qualify for the women’s tournament and will face Concordia Irvine in the quarterfinal at 12:30 p.m.

The men’s and women’s tournament winners will receive the PacWest’s automatic qualifier to the NCAA West Regional which begins next Friday at a host site.
