On the men's side, a Maryville win combined with a Greenville loss and the Saints earn the #4 seed. Any other scenario, including Maryville and Greenville finishing at 9-7 or Eureka, Greenville and Maryville tied at 8-8, Greenville is the #4 seed. If Fontbonne and Westminster both finish 12-4, seeding will be determined by the Tournament's #4 seed. If Maryville is the #4 seed, Westminster is the #2 seed. If Greenville is the #4 seed, Fontbonne is the #2 seed.
