Seeds

[edit]

The top four teams in the Ivy League regular-season standings qualify for the tournament and are seeded according to their records in conference play, resulting in a Shaughnessy playoff. If a tie for any of the top four positions exists, tiebreakers are applied in the following order:

  • Head-to-head record between teams involved in the tie.
  • Record against the top team(s) not involved in the tie in order of conference record, going down through the seedings until the tie is broken.
  • Average of the teams' ranking in the following computer systems: NCAA NET, Sagarin, KenPom, and ESPN Basketball Percentage Index.[2]
