Big Sky Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Year


The Big Sky Conference Player of the Year Award, officially known as the Big Sky Conference Most Valuable Player Award, is an annual basketball award given to the Big Sky Conference's most outstanding player. The award was first given following the 1978–79 season. Only one player, Larry Krystkowiak of Montana, has won the award three times. Three others have been two-time winners: Orlando Lightfoot of Idaho and Harold Arceneaux and Damian Lillard of Weber State.
Weber State has the most all-time awards and individual winners. Montana is second in total awards with seven, while Idaho has had six. Those two schools are tied for second in individual winners with five. Only one current Big Sky member, Southern Utah, has never had a winner.
