Gonzaga repeated as co-champions of the Big Sky, this time with Montana State;[1][2][3] the conference did not yet have an automatic berth to the 23-team NCAA tournament,[4] which came the next year. The 14-team National Invitation Tournament (NIT) was not interested in either team, and without a post-season berth on the line, no playoff was held.[4]
Senior center Gary Lechman led the Big Sky in points, field goal percentage, and rebounding, while Gonzaga led in the team statistics.[5]
