Rankings from AP Poll

The 2023–24 Pac-12 Conference men's basketball season began with practices in October followed by the 2023–24 NCAA Division I men's basketball season, which started November 6, 2023. Conference play will begin on December 27, 2023. This is the twelfth season under the Pac–12 Conference name and the 65th since the current Pac−12 charter was established in 1959. Because the Pac-12 includes the history of the Pacific Coast Conference, which existed from 1915 to 1959, in its own history, this is the 109th season of Pac-12 men's basketball.

It was the final season of Pac-12 competition, with UCLA, USC, Oregon & Washington moving to the Big Ten Conference;[1] Colorado returning to its previous home of the Big 12 Conference, with Utah, Arizona & Arizona State following suit;[2] California and Stanford moving to the Atlantic Coast Conference, and Oregon State and Washington State moving to the West Coast Conference after the 2023–24 academic year.

The Pac-12 tournament took place on March 13−16, 2024 at the T-Mobile Arena on the Las Vegas Strip, just outside the city limits of Las Vegas.

All-Americans[edit]

Main article: 2024 NCAA Men's Basketball All-Americans

To earn "consensus" status, a player must win honors based on a point system computed from the four different all-America teams. The point system consists of three points for first team, two points for second team and one point for third team. No honorable mention or fourth team or lower are used in the computation. The top five totals plus ties are first team and the next five plus ties are second team.[62]
