Weber State defeated Nevada in the championship game 87–78 to clinch their fourth Big Sky tournament title. The Wildcats and Wolf Pack were the regular season co-champions, while Idaho was attempting to win a third consecutive title.

This was the twentieth season for the Big Sky and its first employing the three-point shot, for conference play only, with the line at 22 feet (6.71 m). The NCAA adopted the three-point shot for the 1986–87 season, at a considerably shorter 19 ft 9 in (6.02 m).
