Idaho State and Montana tied as co-champions at 11–3 and 19–7 overall, splitting their season series with home wins. Without a conference tournament at the time, a one-game playoff between the teams was necessary to determine the representative to the NCAA Tournament; it was played on Tuesday, March 5 at Adams Field House in Missoula, and the visiting ISU Bengals won by three points.
