Seeds

Ten teams contested the bracket. All rounds reseeded instead of a traditional set bracket; to that end, the 9 and 10 seeds play each other in round 1, and the 7 and 8 seeds do as well, rather than the traditional 7/10 and 8/9 matchup.[1]

The two tiebreakers used by the Atlantic Sun are 1) head-to-head records of teams with identical records and 2) NCAA NET rankings available on day following the conclusion of ASUN regular season play.
