College basketball tournament
The 1988 American South Conference men's basketball tournament was held March 4–6 at the Montagne Center at Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas.[2] This was the inaugural edition of the tournament after the league's establishment in 1987.
Louisiana Tech defeated New Orleans in the championship game, 69–66, to take home the first American South men's basketball tournament.
The Bulldogs, however, did not receive an automatic invitation to the 1988 NCAA Tournament. They ultimately participated in the 1988 NIT.
