† Tournament winner As of March 29, 2015; Rankings from AP Poll |
The 2014–15 West Coast Conference women's basketball season began with practices in October 2014 and ended with the 2015 West Coast Conference Women's Basketball Tournament at the Orleans Arena March 5–10, 2015 in Paradise, Nevada. The regular season began in November, with the conference schedule starting at the end of December.
This was the 30th season for WCC women's basketball, which began in the 1985–86 season when the league was known as the West Coast Athletic Conference (WCAC). It was also the 26th season under the West Coast Conference name (the conference began as the California Basketball Association in 1952, became the WCAC in 1956, and dropped the word "Athletic" in 1989).
The AP Poll does not do a post-season rankings. As a result, their last rankings are Week 19. The Coaches Poll does a post-season poll and the end of the NCAA Tournament.
This table summarizes the head-to-head results between teams in conference play. (x) indicates games remaining this season.
The 2014-15 season saw a lot of new faces to the WCC. Three of the conference members had new head coaches. Kelly Graves left the Zags to become the new head coach at Oregon,Jim Sollars retired, and Jennifer Mountain did not have her contract renewed. As a result Gonzaga, Portland, and Santa Clara all introduced new coaches into the fold.
No WCC teams participated in the 2015 WBI.
The WCC player of the week awards are given each Monday once the season begins.
College Madness WCC player of the Week Awards will be given every Sunday once the season begins.
