Hosts Fresno State upset top-seeded Tulsa in the championship game, 75–72, to clinch their first WAC men's tournament championship. However, most of the Bulldogs' season was later vacated by the NCAA for using an ineligible player.

Fresno State received the WAC's automatic bid to the 2000 NCAA tournament. They were joined in the tournament by WAC regular season champion Tulsa, who earned an at-large bid.
