2021 Women's Basketball Tournament Bracket Releases
ASHEVILLE, N.C. - The bracket for the 2021 Appalachian Athletic Conference (AAC) Tournament is out, and Bryan 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:
- Bryan (14-0 AAC)
- Union (13-3 AAC)
- Reinhardt (10-5 AAC)
- Point (12-6 AAC)
