Big South tournament 2015: Bracket, schedule and results

It has been a crazy ride in the Big South. At one point in mid-February, there was an seven-team tie for first place, and the regular-season title came down to the last day. High Point -- in the driver’s seat for much of the year -- had a chance to clinch the top seed against second-place Charleston Southern in the regular-season finale. However, the Panthers fell in a triple-overtime thriller, 97-93, and the Buccaneers came away with the crown. A rematch in the final round looks like the most appealing matchup, although contenders like Coastal Carolina, Radford, UNC-Asheville and Winthrop will have plenty to say about that.

All 11 teams are eligible for the tournament. The top five seeds get a bye into the quarterfinals, while the bottom six teams all have to play an extra game. The winners of the first-round games go on to face the top three seeds. After that round, it becomes a standard eight-team tournament.
