† 2023 Big Sky tournament winner

EWU finished the regular season at 21–10 (16–2 in Big Sky, first) to win the regular season championship. After clinching that title at 16–0 with two games remaining, they dropped three straight, including their opener of the conference tournament to ninth seed Northern Arizona in the quarterfinals. As a regular season champion who did not win their conference tournament, Eastern received an automatic bid to the National Invitation Tournament. The Eagles defeated Washington State in the first round before falling to Oklahoma State in the second round.
