The Mid-American Conference clarified how they would determine the seeding for the both conference’s upcoming postseason tournament (March 10-13) and for the automatic qualifying spot for the NCAA Tournament via press release on Friday morning.
For the conference tournament, teams’ eligibility will be determined by conference record, with all regular applicable tiebreakers used, if necessary. If one of the eight teams selected on March 5 (men’s) or March 6 (women’s) cannot participate due to COVID-related issues and reports the issue with at least 48 hours advance notice (March 8 or 9), the next eligible team will be slotted in as the last remaining seed to replace the affected team.
