Seeding

The top eight teams in regular season play qualified for the tournament. Teams were seeded based on regular season conference records. A three-team tiebreaker was required between Fordham, Loyola-Chicago, and VCU as all three teams finished with sixteen conference points. All three teams did not play each other during the regular season, so records against common conference opponents was used. VCU earned the fifth seed, while Fordam was the sixth seed, which left Loyola-Chicago as the seventh seed. [6] [7]
