SUWANEE, Ga. -- The SCAC office tonight announced the men's bracket for the 2025 conference basketball tournament, which will begin Friday, Feb. 28 in Irving, Texas on the campus of University of Dallas. Men's Tournament Bracket | Official Tournament Website | Week 15 Men's Basketball Release

The seeds for this year's men's tournament are as follows:

Blue Division
1) St. Thomas (15-1 SCAC; 23-2 overall)
2) Colorado College (9-7 SCAC; 13-12 overall)
3) Dallas (9-7 SCAC; 13-12 overall)

Gold Division
1) Trinity (14-2 SCAC; 21-4 overall)
2) Schriener (12-4 SCAC; 19-6 overall)
3) Concordia (Texas) (10-6 SCAC; 13-12 overall)

Both respective division winners and top seeds - University of St. Thomas and Trinity University - are nationally ranked in the most recent D3hoops.com poll, with Trinity sitting at 24th and St. Thomas immediately following at 25th. In their only regular season matchup of the 2024-25 season, the two met this past weekend in Houston with St. Thomas earning the 81-69 victory.

St. Thomas is seeking its third tournament title since joining the league prior to the 2019-20 season, having won back-to-back championships in 2021 and 2022. Trinity, which last made the title game 2023, is seeking its first conference tournament championship since 2014.

There will be no back-to-back winner this year as the event's defending champion, Centenary College, did not qualify for this year's event. The last time the SCAC men's tournament was played without its defending champion in the field was when three-time defending champion Trinity did not qualify for the 2015 tournament.

The winner of this year's championship tournament, which is being hosted by Dallas for the first time since 2015, will represent the conference in the NCAA Tournament as the league's automatic qualifier.

Men's quarterfinal action gets underway at 5 pm CT Friday evening.
