Seeds and regular season standings

Abilene Christian and Incarnate Word are ineligible for post-season play as they are in the final year of a 4-year transition from D2 to D1.[1][2] They won't be eligible for the Southland tourney until 2018. This chart shows all the teams records and standings and explains why teams advanced to the conference tourney or finished in certain tiebreaking positions.
