Notes
^ An investigation by the CAA revealed that Charleston had supplied improperly sized basketballs in this game, as well as the Cougars' home game against William & Mary. The CAA ruled that these games would be treated as Charleston losses for tournament seeding purposes, though counting as Charleston wins for all other purposes.[ 2]
