Conference tournament winner

Seventh-seeded Idaho State upset fourth-seeded Nevada in the championship game, 92–81, to clinch their second Big Sky tournament title (first was a decade earlier).

The top three seeds (Montana State, Boise State, Montana) lost in the first round, which led to a revised format the following year. ISU had entered the tournament with a 5–9 conference record, 12–15 overall.
