The 2025 ASUN women's basketball tournament will be the conference postseason tournament for the Atlantic Sun Conference. The tournament will be the 39th year the league has conducted a postseason tournament. The tournament was held March 7–15 at campus sites of the higher seeds. If eligible, the winner will receive the conference's automatic bid to the 2025 NCAA Tournament. If Queens or West Georgia wins the tournament, the automatic bid will instead be given to the ASUN regular season champion.
Seeds
Ten teams will contest the bracket. All rounds reseed instead of a traditional set bracket; to that end, the 9 and 10 seeds play each other in round 1, and the 7 and 8 seeds do as well, rather than the traditional 7/10 and 8/9 matchup.[1]
The two tiebreakers used by the ASUN are: 1) head-to-head record of teams with identical record and 2) NCAA NET Rankings available on day following the conclusion of ASUN regular season play.
