It was the last Southern Conference tournament for four teams that officially left the conference on July 1, 2014. Appalachian State and Georgia Southern, which upgraded their football programs to the top-level Division I FBS, joined the FBS Sun Belt Conference. Davidson became a member of the Atlantic 10 Conference. Elon joined the Colonial Athletic Association.

Despite all of these departures, the championship game was contested between two teams who remained in the Southern Conference. Western Carolina reached the championship by coming back from double-digit deficits, including a 15-point second-half deficit to regular season champion Davidson in the semifinals. In the championship game, it looked like history might repeat itself, as the Catamounts came back from an 11-point deficit to as close as 1. However, Trey Sumler missed a last-second three-point shot to tie the game, and Wofford won their 3rd conference championship.
