The Bobcats won the program's first men's basketball regular season title since 2002, and the first tournament championship since 1996. MSU shared the men's tennis regular season title, finished second in football and outdoor track and field, and third in cross country and indoor track and field.
In addition to the program-wide team highlights, Bobcat individuals starred in 2021-22. Troy Andersen won the FCS Football National Defensive Player of the Year honor by the FCS/ADA, as well as reeling in Big Sky Defensive Player of the Year and unanimous All-America honors. He was a CoSIDA First Team Academic All-America, FCS/ADA All-Scholar, and was the only FCS honoree as one of 13 National Football Foundation All-Scholar selections.
The league honored Bobcats with both regular season and tournament MVPs. Junior center Jubrile Belo earned the Big Sky Player of the Year award, while the league feted Xavier Bishop as the Most Valuable Player of the league tournament. Drake Schneider earned Big Sky Outdoor Track and Field Men's Most Outstanding Performer, while the men's tennis doubles team of Matej Panik and Jamieson Nathan became the second Bobcat duo ever to qualify for the NCAA Individual Doubles Tournament.
Montana State ran away from the league in the final all-sports standings, averaging 10.30 points over its five conference sports. Northern Arizona, whose seven-season reign in men's all-sports standings ended with MSU's title this year, finished second 7.80 points, while Weber State was third (7.33), Montana fourth (6.60) and Idaho fifth (6.16). Southern Utah, Eastern Washington, Sacramento State, Northern Colorado, Portland State and Idaho State rounded out the standings. MSU's winning margin over its next closest competitor is the largest since the Big Sky adopted its current scoring format in 2017.
