The answer to question is that there are two champions.
The regular season champ gets a nice banner and a good record
The Tournament Champ gets a nice banner a good weekend of basketball and an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.

IMO,its all on which conference you are referring to.
I just can't imagine any self-respecting Georgia fan acting as if they were the 'SEC Champion' last year over Tennessee. Yes,they got the automatic bid,but since the SEC brought back the tournament in 1979,not one time has the regular season champion ever been left out. Even with the tournament not expanding like it is now until 1985 and no regular season champ also winning the tourney until 1986,the SEC regular season champ always went and except for 1979, at least two other teams besides the tourney champ whent.
For lesser conferences like the Southern ,OVC,SWAC,etc it has to be the conference tourney. And maybe even for the ACC and to a lesser extent the Big East because of the history.
