Footnotes

^ An investigation by the CAA revealed that Charleston had supplied improperly sized basketballs in their home wins over W&M and UNCW. The CAA ruled that these games would be treated as Charleston losses for tournament seeding purposes.^[1] This gave W&M a 10–8 record for seeding purposes, putting them into a fourth-place tie with Delaware in which W&M held the tiebreaker.
^ This game was treated as a W&M win for purposes of CAA tournament seeding, though counting as a Charleston win for all other purposes.^[1]
