The 2024 Ohio Valley Conference Men's Basketball Tournament will be the final event of the 2023–24 NCAA Division I men's basketball season in the Ohio Valley Conference. The tournament is being held March 6–9, 2024 at the Ford Center in Evansville, Indiana. The tournament winner will receive the conference's automatic bid to the 2024 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament.
Seeds
Only the top eight teams in the conference qualified for the tournament. Teams were seeded by record within the conference, with a tiebreaker system to seed teams with identical conference records.[1]
If a team that is not eligible for the NCAA Tournament wins the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament, the conference's automatic bid goes to the tournament runner-up. If that team is also not eligible, i.e. two ineligible teams met in the tournament final, the automatic bid goes to the highest seeded tournament-eligible semifinal loser.[2]
