Tournament Notes
[edit]- This was the first tournament in 3 years in which the top two seeds didn't play in the final game.
- UCLA's 19-point margin of victory over Cal (71-52) is one of the largest in this tournament's history for the championship game.
- California had someone selected for the All Tournament team for the first time. Two players were in fact selected.
- Leon Powe of Cal made a record total 30 free throws for a single Pac-10/12 tournament (30-of-41, 3 games). This record still stands.
- Leon Powe's 41 FT attempts for those games is also a tournament record.[3]
