Rather than use the traditional 10-team scheduling format, where one full day was devoted to men's quarterfinals and the other to the women's quarterfinals, the SWAC decided to protect their top 2-seeds by giving them days off between matches. The tournament began with two quarterfinals on Tuesday featuring 7/10 and 8/9. The winner of these two matches moved on to play the 1 (vs. 8/9) and 2 (vs. 7/10) seeds on Wednesday. The 3 vs. 6 and 4 vs. 5 matches did not take place until Thursday. The quarterfinal winners would meet in the semifinals on Friday, and the championship game took place Saturday. The championship game aired live on ESPN3 and then aired tape delayed on ESPNU Sunday.
