If a team that was not eligible for the NCAA tournament had won the WAC tournament, the conference's automatic bid would have gone to the highest seeded tournament-eligible team.

While seeding was determined by the WAC Résumé Seeding System, the eight teams qualifying for the tournament were determined by composite WAC standings.
