The Big Sky rewards its regular-season champ with hosting duties for the conference tourney. This season, the scramble for that very important distinction was pretty wild with four teams in the mix over the final two weeks.

In addition to a bid to the NCAA tournament, the national scoring title is at stake in Missoula as well. Eastern Washington\u2019s Tyler Harvey currently leads Northwestern State\u2019s Zikiteran Woodley by 0.5 points per game and has a 0.7 ppg edge over BYU\u2019s Tyler Haws. Oddly, Harvey\u2019s father was officiating the WCC semifinal game between BYU and Portland on Monday night. Talk about a conflict of interest.<\/p>\n
