WIU has a home game against UMKC
IUPUI has a home game left against CSU
VU has a game at ORU
OU has a game at SUU
ORU has a home game against VU
CSU has a game at IUPUI
UMKC has a game at WIU
SUU has home games left against OU
CC is done

WIU has already clinched the #1 seed.

IUPUI has clinched at least the #3 seed. If they tie with VU at 10-6, it means they lost to CSU and SUU. IUPUI and VU split and they were both swept by WIU, so we have to go to 4th place, which would be ORU or OU (if they beat SUU) at 9-7.

If both are 9-7, then we look at VU and IUPUI records against ORU and OU together:

IUPUI: 4-0
VU: 3-1

Which would give the 2 seed to IUPUI.

If only ORU is 9-7, then both VU and IUPUI would be 2-0 against ORU, so we'd go to 5th place, which would be OU and CSU (if IUPUI is 10-6 they lost to CSU) and possibly UMKC (if they beat WIU) at 8-8.

If it is just OU and CSU, then here are the records to compare:

IUPUI: 2-2
VU: 2-2

and we'd have to to 7th place, which would be UMKC at 7-9.

IUPUI: 2-0
VU: 1-1

which again gives the 2 seed to IUPUI.

If OU, CSU, and UMKC are all 8-8, then here are the records to compare:

IUPUI: 4-2
VU: 3-3

and again, the 2 seed goes to IUPUI, and that exhausts all the possibilities, so give the #2 seed to IUPUI.

This leaves the #3 seed between ORU and VU, who play each other tomorrow night. The winner will be 10-6 and have the 3 seed, the loser will be 9-7 and play in the 4-5 game.

If ORU wins and gets the 3 seed, and OU beats SUU, then VU plays OU in the 4-5 game.

If ORU wins, and OU loses to SUU, then VU gets the 4 seed, and OU, CSU, or UMKC gets the 5 seed. If all 3 are tied at 8-8, OU is 2-2, CSU is 2-2, UMKC is 2-2, so we look at #1 WIU: OU is 1-1, CSU is 0-2, and UMKC would be 1-1, eliminating CSU. OU and UMKC split with each other, they both split with WIU, they both were swept by IUPUI, they both split with ORU, they both split with Valpo, but UMKC swept SUU, while OU split, so UMKC would get the 5 seed, OU 6, CSU 7, and SUU 8.

If only OU and CSU are tied at 8-8, OU split with CSU, OU was 1-1 against WIU while CSU was 0-2 against WIU, so OU would get the 5 seed, CSU the 6, UMKC 7, and SUU 8

If only OU and UMKC are tied at 8-8, then as seen previously with the 3-way tie, SUU would break the tie and UMKC would get the 5 seed, OU the 6, CSU 7, and SUU 8.

If Valpo wins and gets the 3 seed, and OU beats SUU, then ORU plays OU in the 4-5 game.

If Valpo wins, and OU loses to SUU, then ORU gets the 4 seed, and OU, CSU, or UMKC gets the 5 seed. If all 3 are tied at 8-8, OU is 2-2, CSU is 2-2, UMKC is 2-2, so we look at #1 WIU: OU is 1-1, CSU is 0-2, and UMKC would be 1-1, eliminating CSU. OU and UMKC split with each other, they both split with WIU, they both were swept by IUPUI, they both split with Valpo, they both split with ORU, but UMKC swept SUU, while OU split, so UMKC would get the 5 seed, OU 6, CSU 7, and SUU 8.

If only OU and CSU are tied at 8-8, OU split with CSU, OU was 1-1 against WIU while CSU was 0-2 against WIU, so OU would get the 5 seed, CSU the 6, UMKC 7, and SUU 8

If only OU and UMKC are tied at 8-8, then as seen previously with the 3-way tie, SUU would break the tie and UMKC would get the 5 seed, OU the 6, CSU 7, and SUU 8.

Otherwise, OU gets the 5 seed outright.

If CSU and UMKC finish tied at 7-9, then UMKC split with CSU, they both were swept by WIU, but CSU split with IUPUI while UMKC was swept by them, so CSU would get the 6, UMKC the 7, SUU the 8.

So, in summary:

WIU: #1 seed

IUPUI: #2 seed

ORU: #3 seed if they beat Valpo. Otherwise #4 or #5.

VU: #3 seed if they beat ORU. Otherwise #4 or #5.

OU: #4 or #5 seed if they beat SUU, or UMKC loses to WIU. Otherwise #6.

CSU: #6 if UMKC loses. Otherwise #7.

UMKC: #5 if they win. Otherwise #7.

SUU: #8 seed.
