2024 SWAC tournament winner

The 2024 SWAC Men's Basketball Tournament was the postseason men's basketball tournament for the 2023–24 season in the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC). The tournament was held from March 13–16, 2024.[1] The tournament winner, Grambling State, received an automatic invitation to the 2024 NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament. The tournament was sponsored by Pepsi.[2]

For the first time in program history, Grambling State won the SWAC tournament, doing so in a defeat of the three-time defending champion Texas Southern in the final. In addition, it was the first time since 2019 that the regular season champion won the SWAC tournament.
