3/14- (10) Saint Joseph's (13-18; 6-12) vs (7) Duquesne (19-12; 10-8)- 6:00, NBCSN
Pick: Duquesne

3/14- (11) Richmond vs (6) Saint Louis (19-12; 10-8)- 8:30, NBCSN
Pick: Saint Louis

Quarterfinal
3/15- (8) Rhode Island vs (1) VCU (25-6; 16-2)- 12:00, NBCSN: Rhode Island a stud in Daron Russell, but he alone won't be enough as VCU wins the Battle of the Rams.
Pick: VCU

3/15- (5) George Mason vs (4) St. Bonaventure (16-15; 12-6)- 2:30, NBCSN: The Patriots started league play well, but have faltered. The opposite has happened to the Bonnies, who I like here to advance.
Pick: St. Bonaventure

3/15- (7) Duquesne vs (2) Davidson (23-8; 14-4)- 6:00, NBCSN: The Dukes are a team that started off the season well, but faltered a bit in conference play and the Wildcats have the two best players on the court in this one so I like them to advance.
Pick: Davidson

3/15- (6) Saint Louis vs (3) Dayton (21-10; 13-5)- 8:30, NBCSN: The Flyers have been a nice surprise in conference play this season meanwhile the Billikens have been a disappointment. Give me the Flyers in this one.
Pick: Dayton

Semifinal
3/16- (4) St. Bonaventure vs (1) VCU- 1:00, CBSSN: The Bonnies hot run comes to an end here as the Rams advance to the title game.
Pick: VCU

3/16- (3) Dayton vs (2) Davidson- 3:30, CBSSN: The Flyers run comes to an end here against a Wildcats team that is more talented.
Pick: Davidson

Championship
3/17- (2) Davidson vs (1) VCU- 1:00, CBS: This is going to be a great game here. The Rams are in the tournament regardless of this result, so I'm going to go with the duo of Jon Axel Guðmundsson and Kellan Grady to lead the Wildcats to the Dance.
Pick: Davidson
