If one of the four ineligible teams wins the tournament, the team among the six eligible teams that advances the furthest in the tournament will receive the NCAA tournament bid. In the event of a tie (for example, all tournament-eligible teams are eliminated in the same round), the automatic berths will go to the highest-seeded team.Katz Andy NCAA gives SWAC exemption https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/10536916/ncaa-gives-swac-automatic-berth-exemption ESPN March 2014 March 1, 2014 With all four ineligible teams being eliminated in the quarterfinals or before, this contingency was rendered moot, and the tournament winner received an automatic berth after all.
