Format

All of the conference's nine teams were originally set to participate in the tournament, hosted at the North Charleston Coliseum. However, due to recruiting violations committed by Coastal Carolina the previous season, the Chanticleers were declared ineligible and all other members were allowed to participate.[1] Teams were seeded by conference winning percentage. This was the last year for Campbell as a member of the conference, although they returned to the league in 2011–12.
