The Carleton Ravens won their seventh straight title, their 13th in 15 years, this time over the Ryerson Rams, who came into the tournament ranked number one in the country.[2] The Dalhousie Tigers took their first ever bronze medal by defeating the McGill Redmen. Carleton extended its record number of men's national basketball championships, more than any top division college in Canada or the United States.[3]

All tournament games were shown live online via the U Sports website (using Stretch Internet). The semi-final and final games were on television's Sportsnet 360 and on its online service.

This marked the first Men's Final 8 branded as a U Sports championship.
