*Clinched a berth in the Patriot League Tournament
A school must complete a minimum of 12 regular-season League games to be eligible to compete in the 2021 Patriot League Tournament. Non-League games do not factor into the seeding or tournament qualifying process. Ties within each mini-conference will be broken before any ties in the overall tournament seeding. Seeding is based on mini-conference finish and regular-season League winning percentage. In the case of ties, ties will be broken from top to bottom.
