West Hoop Standings Entering This Week's Regional Rankings

We're headed to the second of three regional ranking announcements (this Wednesday, folks) before the 64-team national fields are announced on Selection Sunday two weeks from tonight.

For a recap of key criteria the six-member Regional Advisory Committees (RAC) examine before finalizing each week's ranking, go to this link.

A few reminders:
  • The top seed in each gender is granted West Regional hosting rights (as long as the host bid meets NCAA requirements and is accepted by the national office).
  • The champions of the conference tournaments in the GNAC, PacWest and CCAA earn automatic berths in the regionals. The other five spots in each eight-team regional -- the "at-large" berths -- are determined by the RAC's. 
  • Selection Sunday is March 4. The announcements will be streamed live at NCAA.com (with social media announcements of the No. 1 seeds in each region preceding the video shows).
This week's rankings will be released by early afternoon Pacific time on Wednesday.

Here's a look at the conference leaders (top six plus ties) in the West through games of Saturday, Feb. 17.
