† Conference tournament winner

The 1994 Big Sky Conference men's basketball tournament was the nineteenth edition, held March 10–12 at the BSU Pavilion at Boise State University in Boise, Idaho.^[1]

Fifth-seeded host Boise State upset second-seeded Idaho State in the championship game, 85–81, to repeat as tournament champions and gain their fourth tournament title overall.^[2] The Broncos had defeated regular season champion Weber State in the semifinals.^[3]

Format

Conference membership remained at eight and the tournament format was unchanged, with an exception; the site was predetermined, rather than awarded to the regular season champion.

The top six teams from the regular season participated, and the top two earned byes into the semifinals. The remaining four played in the quarterfinals, and the top seed met the lowest remaining seed in the semifinals.
