The 1985 Pacific Coast Athletic Association men's basketball tournament (now known as the Big West Conference men's basketball tournament) was held March 5–7 at The Forum in Inglewood, California.[1]

Top-seeded UNLV defeated Cal State Fullerton in the final, 79–61, thus capturing their second PCAA/Big West title (and second in three seasons).

The Runnin' Rebels, in turn, received a bid to the 1985 NCAA tournament, the program's sixth overall.
