Seeding

The top eight teams in the regular season earned a spot in the tournament. Teams were seeded based on regular season conference record and tiebreakers were used to determine seedings of teams that finished with the same record. A three-way tiebreaker was required for the second, third, and fourth seeds as Davidson, Loyola Chicago, and Saint Louis all finished with fifteen conference points. Record against common conference opponents was used as the tiebreaker. Saint Louis had the best record in that regard and was the second seed. They were followed by Loyola Chicago as the third seed and Davidson as the fourth seed. A second tiebreaker was required to determine the sixth and seventh seeds as Dayton and UMass both finished with thirteen points. Dayton earned the sixth seed by virtue of their 3–1 win in the head-to-head match up during the regular season. [5]
