Montana won the Big Sky with a nearly impeccable 15-1 record, losing just once to Weber State. Damian Lillard’s Weber State team could have split the regular season title if not for a slipup in Pocatello to Idaho State. 

But Montana beat Weber State by a final score of 85-66 in the Conference Tournament, and the statistical rankings confirm the gap between the two strong teams.
