East Texas Baptist has won two of the last three ASC tournaments and leads all teams with seven conference championships, a 34-17 record in tournament play, and is the only team to win at least one game in each tournament since 2000.

The 2014 Championship marks the 16th in league history dating back to 1999 and is the first tournament to be hosted by Texas-Tyler.
