Tournament host UNLV upset regular season league champion BYU 78–70 to claim the Mountain West Conference Tournament title and the league's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. It was UNLV's first tournament title since winning the inaugural tournament in 2000 (though they had previously lost 3 consecutive championship games from 2002–2004).
