After finishing 3rd in the Great West during the regular season, the Fighting Sioux won three straight games in the Great West tournament by a total of four points, capped off with a double-overtime victory over South Dakota to win the Great West tournament championship.[3]

As a recently formed conference, the Great West Conference was not eligible for an automatic bid to the NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament.[4] Instead, as the Great West champion, North Dakota was given an automatic bid[5] to the 2011 CIT. The Fighting Sioux were eliminated in the first round of the tournament by Air Force, 77–67.[6]
