2010 Pacific-10 Conference men's basketball tournament

Seeds

All Pacific-10 schools except USC played in the tournament. USC was banned from post season play as a result of self-imposed sanctions for illegal benefits received during the 2007–2008 season. Teams were seeded by conference record, with a tiebreaker system used to seed teams with identical conference records.
