Seeds
All of the teams in the American Athletic Conference, except for SMU, will qualify for the tournament. SMU canceled their season after going 0–6, so they did not compete in the conference tournament. Teams are seeded based on conference record, and then a tiebreaker system will be used. Teams seeded 7–10 play in opening round, and teams seeded 1–6 receive a bye to the quarterfinals.
