SWAC Tournament 2016 Printable Bracket

A look at the field for the 2016 SWAC Tournament complete with a printable bracket

The 2016 NCAA Tournament is almost here and March Madness looks like it’s about to be crazier than ever. But before the insanity and the best time of year in college basketball can officially get underway, the automatic bids to the Big Dance have to be determined by the winners of the conference tournaments. One of the final auto-bids to be decided will be the champs from the 2016 SWAC Tournament.

The SWAC Tournament will get underway on Tuesday, March 8 with the bottom four seeds from the conference taking aim at staying alive and becoming the conference’s Cinderella story. Those teams are the No. 7 Mississippi Valley State Delta Devils, the No. 8 Alabama A&M Bulldogs, the No. 9 Arkansas-Pine Bluff Golden Lions, and the No. 10 Grambling State Tigers.

However, the favorites to come out of the 2016 SWAC Tournament holding the trophy and the auto-bid are surely the No. 1 Texas Southern Tigers, who finished the regular season going 16-2 in the conference. A dark horse to watch out for though is the No. 4 Southern Jaguars who, although they went only 11-7 in conference play, finished with a better overall record than any other SWAC team.

Let’s dive right into the bracket now and see what we’re working with as a whole in the 2016 SWAC Tournament. For the printable version, just click on the picture and you’ll have a bracket ready to go and fill out on your own.

That’s the way things are set up in the SWAC, but how things will ultimately shake out remains to be seen. If past years are any indication, though, this should be a ton of fun in the 2016 SWAC Tournament.
