2021 Men's Basketball Tournament Bracket Releases
ASHEVILLE, N.C. - The bracket for the 2021 Appalachian Athletic Conference (AAC) Tournament is out, and Reinhardt is the No. 1 seed.
Due to teams playing an unbalanced schedule, no regular-season champion was declared for the 2020-21 season. In addition, every team advances to the tournament, and the seedings were based on the league's rankings and a selection committee.
The seedings are as follows:
- Reinhardt (13-6 AAC)
- Point (14-6 AAC)
- CIU (13-6 AAC)
- Tennessee Wesleyan (12-7 AAC)
- Milligan (10-8 AAC)

- Kentucky Christian (8-11 AAC)
- Bluefield (7-12 AAC)
- Bryan (6-10 AAC)
- Truett McConnell (6-14 AAC)
- St. Andrews (2-12 AAC)
The tournament will begin on Saturday with four first-round games at the higher seed's home site. The top four seeds receive a first-round bye and advance to the quarterfinal round. The quarterfinal, semifinal, and championship rounds will all be played at the MeadowView Marriott Convention Center & Conference Resort in Kingsport, Tenn. on Feb. 25-27.
