Due to the NCAA's preference for holding the Final Four and title games in domed stadiums, these were the last such games to be played in a western state until the 2017 National Title Game which was played at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. It was also the last Final Four in Seattle, a city which had hosted the event 4 times previously. Additionally this was the last time for the foreseeable future that the Pacific Northwest hosted a Final Four or Regional Final after playing host to the aforementioned 4 in Seattle along with 1 in Portland.
Ed O'Bannon scored 30 points and grabbed 17 rebounds and is named the tournament's Most Outstanding Player as the Bruins win the championship 89–78 over Arkansas.[1]
Cameron Dollar played 36 minutes and contributed eight assists and four steals while filling in for an injured Edney, who did not return after leaving with 17:23 left in the first half.[2]
The Bruins enjoyed the biggest lead 34–26 in the first half, but led only by a point at halftime 40–39.
