All 12 teams met at the Reno Events Center for the right to advance to the 2016 NCAA Tournament. The arena seats roughly 5,000. Idaho defeated Idaho State to win their 2nd Big Sky Tournament title for the first time since 1985 before returning to the Big Sky in 2014 and earn an automatic trip to the NCAA Women's Tournament.
