The tournament will be held March 3, 5, and 8, 2020 at campus sites of the higher seeds. The winner receives the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA tournament.[1]
The top eight teams in the conference standings qualify for the tournament. The teams are seeded by record in conference, with a tiebreaker system to seed teams with identical conference records.
