Big Sky Conference Men's Basketball Tournament

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Big Sky Conference's men’s basketball tournament has existed since 1976. The winner of the tournament receives The Big Sky's automatic bid into the NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship.

From 1964-1975, no tournament was played, the team with the best record at the end of the season advanced to the tournament. All games have always been played on the home court of the higher seed.
