2024 ASUN tournament winner

The 2024 Atlantic Sun women's basketball tournament will be the conference postseason tournament for the Atlantic Sun Conference. The tournament will be the 45th year the league has conducted a postseason tournament. The tournament will be held March 8-16 at campus sites of the higher seeds. If eligible, the winner will receive the conference's automatic bid to the 2024 NCAA Tournament. If Bellarmine or Queens wins the tournament, the automatic bid will instead be given to the regular season champion.

Seeds

[edit]

Ten teams will contest the bracket. All rounds reseed instead of a traditional set bracket; to that end, the 9 and 10 seeds play each other in round 1, and the 7 and 8 seeds do as well, rather than the traditional 7/10 and 8/9 matchup.[1]

The two tiebreakers used by the Atlantic Sun are: 1) head-to-head record of teams with identical record and 2) NCAA NET Rankings available on day following the conclusion of regular season play.
