Format and seeding
The four teams in the North Division and top four finishers from the South Division were seeded one through four based on regular season records, with first round matchups of the top seed from the North and the fourth seed from the South, the second seed from the North against the third seed from the South, and so on. The winners advanced in the winners' bracket, while first round losers play elimination games. The format means that one team from the South, North Carolina A&T, was left out of the field.
Rain forced adjustments in the schedule, with all three third round games postponed by one day to Saturday.
