Seeds

Ten teams will contest the bracket. All rounds reseed instead of a traditional set bracket; to that end, the 9 and 10 seeds play each other in round 1, and the 7 and 8 seeds do as well, rather than the traditional 7/10 and 8/9 matchup. [1]

The two tiebreakers used by the Atlantic Sun are: 1) head-to-head record of teams with identical record and 2) NCAA NET Rankings available on day following the conclusion of regular season play.
