TranSouth Tournament Champion gets automatic bid to the 2012 Buffalo Funds NAIA Division 1 Men's Basketball National Championships
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The 2012 TranSouth Athletic Conference men's basketball championship pairings have been announced. NAIA No. 6 Martin Methodist College earned the top seed by winning the 2012 TranSouth regular season championship. The RedHawks have now won or shared the regular season title for two consecutive seasons. The RedHawks advanced to the NAIA Fab Four last season. Mid-Continent forced a four-way (Mid-Continent, Cumberland, Union, Freed-Hardeman) tie for second place with a win over Cumberland University on Saturday. When the tie-breaker was applied Mid-Continent earned the second seed with a better head-to-head record against the other four teams. Freed-Hardeman was given the fifth seed with a record lower than the other three teams. Union and Cumberland were tied and so a second tie-breaker was applied. The two teams split head-to-head and Cumberland earned the third seed with a win over top seeded Martin Methodist.
