BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – Mid-South Conference officials released the 2026 MSC Women’s Basketball Tournament bracket Saturday following the conclusion of the conference’s regular season.

The conference tournament begins on Friday, February 27, with three quarterfinal games, culminating with the championship game on Monday, March 2. All games are scheduled to be played at Bowling Green Arena on the campus of Bowling Green High School.

In the tightly bunched conference standings, the conference tiebreaker was used twice to determine the tournament seeds.

Bethel (Tenn.) and Freed-Hardeman (Tenn.) shared the regular-season championship during the season with 9-3 conference records. Campbellsville (Ky.) and Lindsey Wilson (Ky.) tied for third in the standings with 7-5 marks.

In both ties, the teams split during the regular season, eliminating the first tiebreaker -- head-to-head competition.

The second tiebreaker is the record against the next-highest team in the standings. To break the first-place tie, the tie for third place must be broken first. According to the tiebreaker policy, the combined records of the teams tied for third place against the teams tied for first place are used.

Lindsey Wilson's record against Bethel and Freed-Hardeman during the season is 2-2, while Campbellsville's record against Bethel and Freed-Hardeman is 1-3. With a better record, Lindsey Wilson earns the No. 3 seed, while Campbellsville is the No. 4 seed.

With the third and fourth seeds set, Bethel earns the top seed based on the Wildcats' 2-0 season record against Lindsey Wilson, compared to Freed-Hardeman's 0-2 record against the Blue Raiders.

Georgetown (Ky.) is the No. 5 seed, Cumberlands (Ky.) is the No. 6 seed, and Cumberland (Tenn.) is the No. 7 seed.

Bethel (23-4, 9-3 in the MSC) earns the bye into the semifinals on Sunday, March 1.

The tournament begins at 2:30 p.m. CT on Friday, February 27, as Campbellsville (22-6, 7-5) meets Georgetown (21-7, 6-6) in the first quarterfinal. No. 2-seed Freed-Hardeman (24-3, 9-3) faces Cumberland (15-13, 1-11) at 5 p.m. CT, and third-seed Lindsey Wilson (21-7, 7-5) plays Cumberlands (18-10, 3-9) at 7:30 p.m. CT in the nightcap.

The Campbellsville-Georgetown winner plays Bethel in Sunday's first semifinal at noon CT. the Freed-Hardeman-Cumberland winner meets the Lindsey Wilson-Cumberlands winner at 2:30 p.m. CT in the final semifinal.

The championship game is scheduled for 5 p.m. CT on Monday, March 2.

The tournament champion receives the conference’s automatic bid into the NAIA National Tournament later in March.
