# 2024 Summit League men's basketball tournament

The 2024 Summit League men's basketball tournament was the postseason men's basketball tournament for the Summit League for the 2023–24 season. All tournament games were played at the Denny Sanford Premier Center in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, from March 8–12, 2024.

## Seeds

All nine conference teams participated in the tournament. Teams were seeded by record within the conference, with a tiebreaker system to seed teams with identical conference records. The tiebreakers operated in the following order:
* Head-to-head record
* Record against the top-seeded team not involved in the tie, going down through the standings until the tie is broken
If St. Thomas had won the Summit League Tournament, the conference's automatic bid would have gone to the highest seeded postseason eligible team, South Dakota State.
