2023 Men’s Big Sky Basketball Bracket
FARMINGTON, Utah (February 27, 2023) – The bracket for the 2023 Big Sky Conference Men’s Basketball Championship is officially set, following an exciting regular season that came to a close on Monday evening.
Eastern Washington will enter the tournament as the No. 1 overall seed, despite dropping the final two games of the regular season against Idaho State and Montana State.
Montana State, the defending tournament champion, will enter the field as the No. 2 seed after upsetting EWU on the final night of the regular season.
Due to no matchups potentially changing following a game on Wednesday, the previously scheduled contest in Missoula between Portland State and Montana will not be made up.
