OREM – The Utah Valley men's and women's basketball teams are set to compete in the 2025 Western Athletic Conference (WAC) Tournament, March 12-15, with both squads aiming for a championship and an automatic NCAA Tournament berth.

Men's Basketball – No. 1 Seed
Utah Valley's men's team, led by head coach Todd Phillips, capped off its dominant season with the No. 1 seed in the WAC Tournament. The Wolverines have been one of the nation's hottest teams, winning 18 of their final 19 regular-season games to secure the outright conference title.
