The Great Midwest Conference tournament never met criteria for an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament, meaning that the winner of the tournament was never guaranteed an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. However, Cincinnati, which won all four GMC tournaments, received an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament each year.
