The second and third games each day will begin 30 minutes following the previous game, but no earlier than the designated start time.
TIE-BREAKERS
* By virtue of beating Ole Miss 2 out of 3 times during the regular season, LSU is awarded the No. 2 Seed as Western Division Champions.
* Since Auburn, Arkansas and Vanderbilt did not all play each other during the regular season, the three-way tie for the eighth and final spot in Hoover was broken by comparing their records versus tournament seeds 1-8, until finding a common opponent. All three teams played Florida, the tournament's No. 1 Seed. Arkansas beat Florida twice, while Auburn and Vanderbilt were both swept by the Gators, giving the Razorbacks the No. 8 Seed.
* Seeding is based on winning percentage of each team.
