Southland Basketball Tip-Off
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Southland Basketball Tip-off was an eight team in–season college basketball tournament consisting of Southland Conference teams. The tournament was founded in 2021, and held in January 2022 during the 2021–22 NCAA Division I men's basketball season and 2021–22 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. The team that won all three games was crowned champions. The three-day event, held at the Leonard E. Merrill Center in Katy, Texas, provided three additional games on each team's schedule that counted as non-conference games, ahead of the league's 14-game home-and-away conference schedule.[1] The bracket was chosen by blind lottery draw[2] by Southland Commissioner Tom Burnett. All games were carried on ESPN+. The tournament was not scheduled to be held during the 2022–23 season and was presumably a one-off event.
