The Cardinals received an automatic bid to the 1983 NCAA Tournament, and would go on to reach the Final Four. Memphis State received an at-large bid.

Format

All seven of the conference's members participated. They were seeded based on regular season conference records, with the top team earning a bye into the semifinal round. The other six teams entered into the preliminary first round.

This was the first tournament for Southern Miss, who joined the Metro Conference after playing as an Independent. They replaced Saint Louis, who departed for the Midwestern City Conference prior to the season.

gollark: Also, making it symmetrical is not a good enough reason to make it incompatible with 90% of the headphones around and make the available ones for it cost more.
gollark: <@151391317740486657> They're very cheap though, and you might be able to add custom ROMs.
gollark: You didn't have time? Isn't this quite a long challenge thing?
gollark: Also the fact that most stuff, even if it uses DC internally (most things probably do), runs off mains AC and has some sort of built-in/shipped-with-it power supply, and there aren't really common standards for high-powered lower-voltage DC connectors around. Except USB-C, I guess? That goes to 100W.
gollark: I guess it depends on exactly what you do, and the resistance of the wires.
