Seeds

All ten teams in the Southern Conference were eligible to compete in the conference tournament. Teams were seeded by record within the conference, with a tiebreaker system to seed teams with identical conference records. Tiebreakers used are 1) head-to-head results, 2) comparison of records against individual teams in the conference starting with the top-ranked team and working down and 3) NCAA NET rankings on the first available report after the regular season is complete. Samford was seeded over Wofford due to having a better record against conference top seed Chattanooga. VMI was seeded over UNC Greensboro due to having a better record against Mercer.[1] The top six teams received first-round byes.
