† Southern Intercollegiate Tournament winner As of April 30, 1923

The 1923 Southern Intercollegiate men's basketball tournament took place between teams of both the Southern Conference and Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association from February 27–March 3, 1923, at Municipal Auditorium in Atlanta, Georgia. The Mississippi Aggies won their first Southern Conference title. After MSU won the tournament, a celebration broke out in downtown Starkville. A bonfire was built, and when firemen arrived to put it out, students chopped up their water hose and even hit one of the firemen over the head with a bugle.
