[2] The entire tournament was streamed on ESPN3, with the Southern Conference Championship Game televised by ESPN2.
Despite all of these departures, the championship game was contested between two teams who remained in the Southern Conference.
Western Carolina reached the championship by coming back from double-digit deficits, including a 15-point second-half deficit to regular season champion Davidson in the semifinals.
In the championship game, it looked like history might repeat itself, as the Catamounts came back from an 11-point deficit to as close as 1.
However, Trey Sumler missed a last-second three-point shot to tie the game, and Wofford won their 3rd conference championship.
