Unlike most NCAA Division I basketball conference tournaments, the SWAC tournament does not include all of the league's teams. The tournament instead features only the top eight teams from regular-season SWAC play. On March 12, the NCAA announced that the tournament was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic.[1]
