3/9- (5) George Mason vs (4) Saint Joseph's (15-15; 10-8)- 2:30, NBCSN: The Patriots have defeated the Hawks twice this season and I'm going to say that the Hawks get revenge here.
Prediction: Saint Joseph's

3/9- (7) Richmond vs (2) St. Bonaventure (24-6; 14-4)- 6:00, NBCSN: The Bonnies cannot afford to lose this game and I'm going to say they get by the Spiders.
Prediction: St. Bonaventure

3/9- (6) Saint Louis vs (3) Davidson (18-11; 13-5)- 8:30, NBCSN: Payton Aldridge is an absolute stud and he'll lead the Wildcats along with underrated point guard Kellan Grady.
Prediction: Davidson

Semifinals
3/10- (4) Saint Joseph's vs (1) Rhode Island- 1:00, CBSSN: The Rams should cruise here led by EC Matthews and Jared Terrell.
Prediction: Rhode Island

3/10- (3) Davidson vs (2) St. Bonaventure- 3:30, CBSSN: Fun matchup here with the Conference Co- Players of the Year in Payton Aldridge of the Wildcats and Jaylen Adams of the Bonnies. These teams split the regular season matchups, but I think the Bonnies here to advance to secure at least an at-large bid.
Prediction: St. Bonaventure

Championship
3/11- (2) St. Bonaventure vs (1) Rhode Island- 1:00, CBS: Fantastic matchup here between the conferences best two squads. A ton of talent on the court in this games and I like the Rams here in a super close one led by Terrell and Matthews.
