During the postseason it was Greenville that would come away on top, winning their first championship since 2018. Spalding's Anthony Dillard was chosen as the league's Player of the Year while Westminster's Jamile Johnson gave the Blue Jays a second straight Freshman of the Year winner. Eric Bass Jr., from MUW, was named the 6th Man of the Year while Spalding's Kevin Gray was selected the Coach of the Year.

Defense reigned during the season. As Webster's Karl Moore Jr. picked up his third straight Defensive Player of the Year award.The forward wraps up his career a conference record 274 blocks, more than 50 more than the previous record.
