The West Coast Conference Tournament moves to the second round tonight, March 6, 2026, at the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas. The No. 7 seeded Seattle Redhawks (19-12, 8-10 WCC) are set to face the No. 11 seeded San Diego Toreros (12-20, 4-14 WCC). Tipoff is scheduled for 8:30 PM PT (11:30 PM ET), and the game will be streamed live on ESPN+.
San Diego is riding high after a hard-fought 66-62 victory over Loyola Marymount (LMU) in the first round Thursday night. The Toreros’ offense, sparked by Adrian McIntyre (17 points) and Juanse Gorosito (14 points), managed to hold off a late LMU surge to keep their season alive. Seattle U, meanwhile, enters the tournament on a three-game winning streak and earned a first-round bye as the No. 7 seed.

San Diego vs. Seattle U Betting Odds
With Seattle U entering the tournament fresh and holding a better overall record, the market favors the Redhawks by 7.5 points. As always, monitor the latest college basketball odds for any shifting lines as tipoff approaches.
| Team | Moneyline | Spread | Total |
| San Diego | +260 | +7.5 (-105) | O 140.5 (-105) |
| Seattle U | -325 | -7.5 (-115) | U 140.5 (-115) |
San Diego Betting Form
The Toreros have shown grit in postseason play, winning a close-out game against LMU just 24 hours prior. Their ability to draw fouls and shoot accurately from the free-throw line (75.7%) will be tested against a disciplined Seattle defense. Adrian McIntyre has been the focal point of the offense, and his ability to initiate plays will be critical against a Seattle team that ranks well defensively.
San Diego has been a scrappy underdog, maintaining a 47.6% cover rate in that role this season. While they are playing their second game in two nights—a factor that can influence late-game stamina—they have the momentum of a tournament win under their belts.

Seattle U Betting Form
Seattle U is entering the tournament as one of the hottest teams in the WCC, closing their regular season with three straight victories, including an impressive 71-66 win at LMU. All-WCC standout Brayden Maldonado recently returned from injury to score a career-high 33 points, signaling that the Redhawks are operating at peak offensive efficiency.
With a 73.7% straight-up win rate as a favorite this season, Seattle has proven they can handle the pressure of tournament expectations. They also boast a 4-1 record against the spread in their last five games, suggesting they are currently undervalued by the market. Before you lock in your pick, check the Seattle U injury report for any updates on their rotation. For more on their team profile, visit the Seattle U schedule and stats page.
San Diego vs Seattle U Matchup Breakdown
This game will test whether San Diego’s momentum can overcome Seattle’s fresher legs. Seattle U’s defense, anchored by All-WCC Defensive Player of the Year Will Heimbrodt, is designed to stifle perimeter shooting. San Diego’s reliance on three-point volume (9.2 per game) makes this a pivotal statistical clash.
Tournament games in Las Vegas on a neutral site are often won by the team that controls the glass and minimizes turnovers in the closing minutes. For those looking for a competitive edge, our college basketball betting guide provides deeper insights into neutral-site dynamics and pace-of-play metrics.
San Diego vs Seattle Predictions
While San Diego’s win against LMU was impressive, the fatigue factor after playing back-to-back nights is significant. Seattle U has been arguably the most consistent team in the middle of the WCC standings over the last three weeks. We project a comfortable win for the Redhawks, likely covering the 7.5-point spread as their depth wears down a tired Toreros squad.
For the total of 140.5, the Under is the lean. Given the high stakes and the likely defensive focus of both coaches, we expect a lower-scoring affair that stays under the projected total.
Best Bet: Seattle U -7.5 (-115).
