The 1996 West Coast Conference men's basketball tournament took place on March 2–4, 1996. All rounds were held in Santa Clara, California, at the Toso Pavilion.
The Portland Pilots won the WCC Tournament title[1] and an automatic bid to the 1996 NCAA tournament. Kweemada King of Portland was named Tournament MVP.[2]
With eight teams participating, all eight teams were placed into the first round, with teams seeded and paired based on regular-season records. After the first round, teams were re-seeded so the highest-remaining team was paired with the lowest-remaining time in one semifinal with the other two teams slotted into the other semifinal.
