HAMMOND, La. – The Southland Conference announced the brackets for the 2022 Southland Basketball Tip-Off Event on Monday and the Southeastern Louisiana University women's basketball team drew McNeese in the opening round.
 
The women's portion of the six-day men's and women's basketball event is set for Jan. 3-5 at the Merrell Center in Katy, Texas – home to the postseason Southland Conference Tournament. The Lady Lions will face the in-state foe Cowgirls on Jan. 3 at 7:30 p.m. in the final game of the opening day of the event.
 
The Lady Lions share the same side of the bracket with McNeese, Nicholls and UIW. All 12 games of the Southland Women's Basketball Tip-Off Event will be televised on ESPN+. The one team that wins all three games will be crowned the champion of the event, which adds three nonconference games to each league team's schedule prior to conference play officially starting.
