Seeds

William & Mary did not participate in the tournament, as they voluntarily ended their season early due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The remaining 9 were seeded by conference record, with a tiebreaker system used to seed teams with identical conference records. The top seven teams received a bye to the quarterfinals.
