Both the men's and women's tournaments were held together at the HTC Center. The conference hadn't held combined men’s and women’s tournaments since 2001–02 when both events were played at the Roanoke Civic Center The tournament was won by the fifth-seeded North Division Liberty Flames, their third conference title, and first since 2004. With four wins in the tournament, including two over both divisions' top seeds, Liberty won the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA tournament, becoming only the second 20-loss team in the tournament's history (the other being Coppin State in 2007–08).
