The Cowboys were near perfect during their two games in the Southland Conference Tournament, they never trailed once. In the Conference Semifinals, McNeese defeated Lamar 76-57 and defeated Nicholls 92-76 to win the Southland Conference Tournament and advance to the 2024 NCAA Tournament.

At 30-3 overall, McNeese matched the NCAA record for the biggest turnaround in program history by winning 19 more games than the previous season (Murray State 1979, Ohio State 1998, Texas A&M 2022). This will be McNeese's third trip to the NCAA Tournament and its first since the 2002 season.
