† 2024 Big South tournament winner |
The 2024 Big South women's basketball tournament was the postseason women's basketball tournament that will end the 2023–24 NCAA Division I women's basketball season of the Big South Conference.[1] It was held from March 6–10 and played at the Qubein Center.[2] The tournament winner will receive the automatic bid to the 2024 NCAA tournament.
Seeds
All of the conference teams competed in the tournament. The top seven teams received a first-round bye. Teams were seeded by record within the conference, with a tiebreaker system to seed teams with identical conference records.
The tiebreakers operate in the following order:
- Head-to-head record.
- Record against the top-ranked conference team not involved in the tie, going down the standings until the tie is broken. For this purpose, teams with the same conference record are considered collectively. If two teams were unbeaten or winless against an opponent but did not play the same number of games against that opponent, the tie is not considered broken.
