Eagles in the Big Sky Tournament
• Eastern has made 17 Big Sky Conference Tournament appearances in 32 years as a member of the league, and has a record of 17-15 in its 32 games. The Eagles are 1-0 in the first round, 6-5 in the quarterfinals, 8-4 in the semifinals and 2-6 in the championship. Before winning the 2015 title, Eastern hadn’t appeared since the 2011-12 and 2010-11 seasons, which were EWU’s first since 2006. The Eagles qualified for each tournament from 1998-2006. • Eastern won Big Sky Conference Tournament championships and appeared in the NCAA Tournament in 2015 & 2004. The Eagles have also advanced to the National Invitation Tournament in 2003 and the College Basketball Invitational in 2016 and 2017. Eastern registered the school’s first NCAA Division I postseason win with a 79-72 victory over Pepperdine in the first round of the CBI in 2016. • Eastern’s 2014-15 squad won the title and advanced to the NCAA Tournament with a trio of victories in Missoula, Montana. Included was a come-from-behind 69-65 over the host Grizzlies in the championship game. • Before beating Montana for the 2015 title, Eastern had ended its season with losses to the Grizzlies in appearances in 2012, 2006 and 2005. But the year before, in 2004, EWU won the title with a 71-59 championship game victory over Northern Arizona to advance to the school’s first-ever NCAA Tournament (EWU made its first-ever NIT appearance in 2003). • Although its streak of Big Sky tournament berths came to an end in the 2006-07 season, at the time Eastern was just the fifth school in league history to make nine-straight appearances in the Big Sky Conference Tournament. Eastern started the streak back in 1998 after making just one trip to the tourney in their first 10 seasons as a member of the conference. Interestingly, Montana’s 77-69 victory over the Lumberjacks on Feb. 28, 2005, extended Eastern’s streak and ended NAU’s eight-season streak. Eastern’s streak started in 1998 with an end-of-year victory at Montana. That “winner advance, loser eliminated” game ended Montana’s 21-year streak. • In 2011, Eastern’s season came to an end with a 79-70 loss at Weber State in the quarterfinal round of the tournament. That came just three days after the Eagles stunned WSU on their home court 75-59 to end the regular season. Because of the upset, the Wildcats lost their chance at a first-round bye and had to face the Eagles again. In the rematch, WSU outscored EWU 46-25 in the second half as the Wildcats overcame a 12-point EWU halftime lead
The 1976-77 “Screamin’ Eagles” Men’s Basketball team was inducted into the Eastern Athletics Hall of Fame in 2016. Under head coach JERRY KRAUSE, Eastern outscored opponents by an average of nearly 18 points per game on its way to a 25-4 record. Eastern came one victory from a berth to the NAIA Tournament after finishing as the NAIA District 1 Tournament runner-up for the second-straight season.

and a 15-point deficit early in the second half. • In 2013-14, the Eagles were 15-16 overall and missed the Big Sky Conference Tournament with a 10-10 league mark. Interestingly, Sacramento State was also 10-10, but secured the final bid because of a tiebreaker advantage over EWU, which dropped its final game of the season to Weber State 82-78.

Eagles in National Postseason Tournaments
In the 2017-18 season, Eastern made its sixth appearance in a national postseason tournament in school history and fourth-in-a-row. Eastern advanced to the NCAA Tournament in 2004 and 2015, were in the NIT in 2003 and have played in the last three College Basketball Invitational (CBI) tournaments in 2016, 2017 and 2018. In the 2016 CBI, Eastern recorded its first win in a national postseason tournament as a member of Division I with a 79-72 home win over Pepperdine. The Eagles are now 1-5 in postseason national tournaments as a member of NCAA Division I, and 7-10 overall.
Eastern also played in the NAIA Championships (then known as NAIB) on five occasions, with a 6-5 record in appearances in 1942, 1943, 1945, 1946 and 1947. Before beating Pepperdine in 2016, Eastern’s previous national tournament victory came on March 12, 1947, when Eastern – then known as the Eastern Washington College of Education Savages – beat Dakota Wesleyan 62-48. One year earlier, Eastern lost to Pepperdine before meeting the Waves again for the second time in school history nearly 70 years to the day later in the CIT.
