Rankings from AP poll

Washington State, seeded seventh out of the conference's 12 teams, won the tournament and with it the Pac-12 Conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Division I women's tournament. ESPN journalist Alexa Philippou called Washington State's title run "one of the more improbable Power 5 conference tournament runs in recent memory." The championship game was the first in the tournament's history not to feature any of the top four seeds, and the Cougars were the lowest seed ever to reach the title game, much less win it. This was the first Pac-12 title for Washington State in any women's sport, and the first Pac-12 tournament championship in any sport for the Cougars since 2002.
