The Big West Conference 2018-19 season came to an official end on Sunday, following UC Irvine’s 73-54 loss to Oregon in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.

Three Big West teams combined to go 1-3 in postseason tournament play, and the one victory was a big one. UCI, which was a No. 13 seed in the South Region bracket of the NCAA Tournament, upset No. 4 seed Kansas State, 70-64, in the first round.

That two games played by the Anteaters in “The Big Dance” are expected to result in a payout to the Big West Conference of more than $3.4 million dollars, spread out over six years. Each of the nine teams in the conference – including the University of Hawai’i – gets a share of the payout.

The other two Big West teams in postseason tournaments did not fare as well.

CSUN, which was the unexpected guest of the College Basketball Invitational (CBI), got bounced out of the first round by Utah Valley, 92-84.

Cal State Fullerton was eliminated in the first round of the CollegeInsider.com Tournament (CIT) by Cal State Bakersfield, 66-58.
