Where can one find the basketball seeding tiebreakers? Searched with no luck on the MAC website.
Found the two team tiebreaker. No clue on 3+ teams.

head to head, then record in division, then win % against teams in conference starting from top to bottom.

The head to head tiebreaker is also used with more than two teams.

For example, in the current standings, Toledo, Kent, and CMU are all tied at 10-4. To break the tie, they look at each team's record against the other two teams.

Kent is 3-0 against UT and CMU. CMU is 1-1 against UT and Kent. UT is 0-3 against Kent and CMU. As a result, Kent is 1st, CMU is 2nd, and UT is third in the current standings.

If teams are still tied after comparing the head to head records, they move on to the other tiebreakers.

Thx
As long as we do our job we will be the #2 at least. No real advantage of being the 1 over 2 anyways. Kent has a brutal schedule though and besides us, CMU has all road games.

The only advantage of the 1 seed is playing early Friday. The second semi routinely ends super late.

Gotta take care of business at home. If kent loses 2, just need one of last two on the road. Would be nice to beat cmu up at their place though. Not sure kent will lose 2 though.
