The 2022 Big South Conference men's basketball tournament was the postseason men's basketball tournament for the Big South Conference for the 2021âÂÂ22 season. It was held from March 2âÂÂ6, 2022, with all tournament games played at the Bojangles Coliseum in Charlotte, North Carolina. This was the first time since the 2016 edition that the tournament was held at a single neutral site location. The tournament winner, Longwood, received the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. The defending champions were the Winthrop Eagles. Winthrop lost in the finals to Longwood, ensuring the Lancers their first NCAA tournament appearance.
With the addition of North Carolina A&T before the season, the conference increased its membership to 12 teams and split into divisions for the first time since 2013âÂÂ14. The division winners were awarded the top two seeds, with the rest of the teams being seeded by record, with a tiebreaker system to seed teams with identical conference records.
The tiebreakers operate in the following order:
UNC Asheville got a higher seeding than Campbell due to the head-to-head record. High Point got a higher seeding than Radford got a better top-to-bottom record through High Point's win against Winthrop.
