The 2001 Big Sky Conference men's basketball tournament was held March 8–10 at the Matadome at California State University, Northridge in the Northridge neighborhood of Los Angeles, California.[2]

Top-seeded hosts Cal State Northridge defeated Eastern Washington in the championship game, 73–58, to win their first, and only, Big Sky men's basketball tournament title (CSUN departed the Big Sky the following season).

The Matadors, in turn, received an automatic bid to the 2001 NCAA tournament. No other Big Sky members were invited this year.
