Wright State and CSU tied for 2nd at 12-6. They split with each other and both split with # 1 Butler.

Milwaukee, UIC, Valpo, and Green Bay all finished in a 4-way tie for 4th at 9-9. This tie cannot be broken until the tie for 2nd is broken, so these 4 teams are treated as a single unit.

Wright State was 4-4 (2-0 against UIC, 1-1 against Green Bay, 1-1 against Milwaukee, 0-2 against Valpo), while CSU was 5-3 (1-1 against UIC, 1-1 against Green Bay, 1-1 against Milwaukee, and 2-0 against Valpo). Therefore, CSU gets the 2 seed and Wright State the 3 seed.

Now we can proceed to break the 4-way tie.

Milwaukee was 3-3, UIC 4-2, Valpo 3-3, and Green Bay 2-4 in the round-robin head-to-head (UIC swept Milwaukee and split with Valpo and Green Bay; Milwaukee split with Valpo and swept Green Bay; Valpo split with Green Bay). Thus, UIC gets the 4 seed and Green Bay gets the 7 seed.

Milwaukee split with Valpo. They both were swept by #1 Butler, but Milwaukee split with #2 CSU while Valpo was swept by them, so Milwaukee gets the 5 seed and Valpo gets the 6 seed.
