The last weeks of the season were played against the backdrop of a potential Gonzaga move to the Mountain West Conference ( MW ) , first publicly reported by the '' San Diego Union-Tribune '' on February 28 , 2018 . MW commissioner Craig Thompson told the newspaper that the league had discussed expansion with six schools , with Gonzaga the only school he specifically named . Thompson added that Gonzaga could potentially join as a full but non-football member as early as the 2018 – 19 school year . A later '' Union-Tribune '' report indicated that talks were advanced enough that the conference 's presidents planned a vote on an invitation to Gonzaga during the MW men 's and women 's basketball tournaments in Las Vegas , but decided to delay the vote until after the Final Four . However , before the MW 's planned vote , Gonzaga athletic director Mike Roth notified both conferences that Gonzaga would remain in the WCC for the immediate future
