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 tiebreaker was required to determine the second and third seeds as Providence and St. John's both finished with 5–1–2 regular season records. The two teams tied their regular season match-up 1–1 on October 19. Providence won the tiebreaker and earned the second seed. A second tiebreaker was required for the fifth and sixth seed between Creighton and Seton Hall as both teams finished with identical 4–3–1 regular season records. The two teams did not meet during the regular season and Creighton won the tiebreaker to earn the fifth seed. A final tiebreaker was required for the eighth and final seed in the tournament between DePaul and Marquette as both teams finished with identical 2–4–2 regular season records. The two teams tied their regular season match-up 2–2 on October 23. DePaul won the tiebreaker and earned the final spot in the tournament. [6]
