First Round
3/2- (10) Detroit (8-23; 4-14) vs (7) Green Bay (12-19; 7-11)- 5:30, ESPN3
Prediction: Green Bay

3/2- (9) Youngstown State (8-23; 6-12) vs (8) Cleveland State (9-22; 6-12)- 8:00, ESPN3
Prediction: Cleveland State

Quarterfinals
3/3- (7) Green Bay vs (2) Wright State (22-9; 14-4)- 5:30, ESPN3
Prediction: Wright State

3/3- (8) Cleveland State vs (1) Northern Kentucky (22-8; 15-3)- 8:00, ESPN3
Prediction: Northern Kentucky

3/4- (6) Milwaukee (15-16; 8-10) vs (3) UIC (17-14; 12-6)- 5:00, ESPN3
Prediction: UIC

3/4- (5) IUPUI (11-18; 8-10) vs (4) Oakland (18-13; 10-8)- 7:30, ESPN3

Semifinals
3/5- (4) Oakland vs (1) Northern Kentucky- 7:00, ESPNU: Going with a mild upset here with the Golden Grizzlies and Conference Player of the Year Kendrick Nunn will lead the way.
Prediction: Oakland

3/5- (3) UIC vs (2) Wright State- 9:30, ESPNU: Give me the Raiders here to beat the Flames for a third time this season.
Prediction: Wright State

Championship
3/6- (4) Oakland vs (2) Wright State- 7:00, ESPN: This should be a fun conference championship game between these two solid teams. The Raiders did beat the Golden Grizzlies twice this season, but I like the Grizzlies to win here to punch a ticket to the Big Dance.
Prediction: Oakland
