The SLU men's basketball team (16-15, 12-6 Southland) will be the No. 3 seed and receive a bye into Thursday's quarterfinals at the Merrell Center in Katy, Texas. The Lions will face the winner of Wednesday's first round game between sixth-seeded Texas A&M-Corpus Christi and No. 7 Central Arkansas on Thursday at 7:30 p.m.
 
If SLU is able to get past the Islanders or Bears on Thursday, No. 2 seed Abilene Christian will await the Lions in Friday's semifinals at 7:30 p.m. The semifinal winners will face off in Saturday's championship game at 8:30 p.m. with the winner earning the league's automatic berth into the NCAA Tournament.
 
The first three rounds of the tournament will be shown on ESPN+. The championship game will air on ESPN2.
 
The Lion baseball team (6-10, 1-2 Southland) will take a break from Southland play this week, heading to Stillwater, Oklahoma for a three-game series at Oklahoma State. The series opens with a 6:05 p.m. contest on Friday, continues on Saturday at 2:05 p.m. and concludes on Sunday at 1:05 p.m.
