Going into the game, the Hornets and the Montana State Bobcats were tied for eighth place in the Big Sky Conference. The winner would advance to the Big Sky Conference Tournament since Eastern Washington fell to Weber State earlier in the day.

This was the final home game for seniors Joey Quigley, Kendell Groom and Jordan Salley.
