ATLANTIC SUN
Top seed: Jacksonville (10-4, 7-1), Utah (9-4, 7-1) and Air Force (8-5, 7-1) are all tied for the league lead entering the final regular season weekend. They will be the top three seeds in some order, with Air Force the predetermined host.
Who’s in: Bellarmine (9-6, 5-3) will play in one of next Tuesday’s quarterfinals, with Cleveland State (7-7, 4-4), Robert Morris (5-8, 4-4) and Detroit (3-9, 3-5) vying for the last two spots. A Cleveland State victory at Detroit on Saturday would lock the Vikings as well as Robert Morris into the field.
ATLANTIC 10
Top seed: The A-10 is one of two leagues (along with the Coastal Athletic Association) that still has a pair of undefeated teams in conference play. Saint Joseph’s (9-3, 4-0) visits Richmond (9-4, 4-0) on Saturday to settle the regular season title.
Who’s in: In addition to Saint Joseph’s and Richmond, High Point (8-6, 2-2) and UMass (6-6, 2-2) have also clinched tournament berths and will meet Friday to decide the No. 3 seed. UMass is the predetermined host for the league tournament.
BIG EAST
Top seed: Denver (10-2, 4-0) has already clinched it by virtue of its victory over Georgetown, the only team within a game of the Pioneers.
Who’s in: The Hoyas (9-3, 3-1) are assured a spot in the semifinals and can seal the No. 2 seed with a victory over Villanova (8-5, 2-2). The Wildcats are in the field as well, since they can’t end up on the wrong end of a three-way tie for third. Providence (6-7, 2-2) can lock up the last spot with a victory over St. John’s (4-10, 1-3), but it could still get in on goal differential in common games if it loses by three or less and Villanova falls to Georgetown to create a three-team tie. A St. John’s victory coupled with a Villanova win vaults the Red Storm into the tournament and ends the Friars’ season.
BIG TEN
Top seed: Johns Hopkins (10-3, 5-0) clinched the outright regular season title with a 7-5 defeat of Maryland on Saturday. Both the Blue Jays and the Terrapins (8-4, 3-2) earned byes into the semifinals of the tournament, which begins Saturday. The final two rounds will be played at Ohio State.
Who’s in: Everybody, which makes the Big Ten the only league to include every program in its tournament. Fourth-seeded Michigan (7-6, 2-3) welcomes fifth-seeded Ohio State (6-8, 1-4) into Ann Arbor on Saturday, while sixth-seeded Rutgers (7-6, 1-4) visits third-seeded Penn State (9-3, 3-2) later in the afternoon.
CAA
Top seed: Towson (10-3, 6-0) and Delaware (8-3, 6-0) have clinched the top two spots, and the winner of their meeting at Delaware on Friday will claim the No. 1 seed. The Blue Hens are ineligible to host the conference tournament since they’ve announced they’re leaving the league in all sports in the summer of 2025, so Towson will be the site of next week’s semifinals and title game regardless of Friday’s outcome.
Who’s in: Fairfield (7-6, 4-2) has locked up the No. 3 seed. There’s a four-team logjam at 2-4, with all of them requiring a victory plus help to snag the No. 4 seed. Drexel needs a Stony Brook loss to Hofstra; Monmouth requires a Hofstra loss; Stony Brook’s chances hinge on Monmouth losing to Drexel; and Hofstra’s season can’t continue without a Drexel loss.
IVY LEAGUE
Top seed: Cornell (8-4, 4-1) is well-positioned to bring the Ivy tournament to Ithaca. The Big Red needs either a victory over Dartmouth (3-9, 0-5) or for Yale (11-2, 4-1) to lose to Princeton (8-4, 3-2) to lock up the top seed. A Cornell loss coupled with a Yale victory means the Bulldogs will be the No. 1 seed.
Who’s in: Cornell, Yale and Penn (8-5, 4-2) have clinched tournament berths. Princeton will take the fourth spot with a win or a Brown (3-9, 2-3) loss to Harvard (7-5, 1-4). But a Princeton loss opens the door for Brown to get in with a victory over the Crimson.
MAAC
Top seed: Sacred Heart (11-4, 9-0) won the regular season by two games over LIU (10-3, 7-2) and both get quarterfinal byes. But neither will play at home in the league tournament, because the MAAC permits only full members to have hosting duties.
Who’s in: Third-seeded Manhattan (6-8, 6-3) welcomes sixth-seeded Quinnipiac (9-4, 5-4) to Gaelic Park, while fourth-seeded Marist (8-6, 5-4) takes on fifth-seeded Siena (7-7, 5-4) in Poughkeepsie, N.Y. All those schools are full MAAC members, so the best remaining seed of the bunch will be the site of the final two rounds.
