Seeding

edit

The top six 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. No tiebreakers were required as the top six teams in conference play finished with unique regular season records.[4]
