The SWAC Tournament will be held from Wednesday, March 8 to Saturday, March 11 from the Bartow Arena in Birmingham, Alabama. Alcorn State is the No. 1 seed in the tournament.
Eight teams will face off and none will get a bye. The Nos. 1 and 2 seeds will get to play on March 8, giving them an extra day to rest before the semifinals, while Nos. 3 and 4 will play on March 9. The winner of the SWAC Tournament will get an automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament. If the No. 1 seed does not win the tournament, they will head to the NIT. There will likely not be any teams that earn an at-large bid from the SWAC.
