2023 Summit League Tournament winner

The 2023 Summit League men's basketball Tournament is the postseason men's basketball tournament for the Summit League for the 2022-23 season. All tournament games will be played at the Denny Sanford Premier Center in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, from March 3-7, 2023.[1]

Seeds

All ten conference teams will participate in the tournament following a change announced before the season began.[2] This will be the first year that St. Thomas will participate in a Division I conference tournament in any sport. Teams are seeded by record within the conference, with a tiebreaker system to seed teams with identical conference records. The tiebreakers operate in the following order:

  1. Head-to-head record
  2. Record against the top-seeded team not involved in the tie, going down through the standings until the tie is broken

If a team that is not eligible for the NCAA Tournament wins the Summit League Tournament, the conference's automatic bid goes to the highest seeded postseason eligible team.[3]
