Semifinal
3/15- (5) Central Michigan vs (1) Buffalo- 6:30, CBSSN: This game will have a ton of points scored but I like the Bulls here to advance to the title game.
Pick: Buffalo

3/15- (3) Bowling Green vs (2) Toledo- 9:00, Fox Sports: This is going to be a great game! I like the Rockets here to win go move on.
Pick: Toledo

Championship
3/16- (2) Toledo vs (1) Buffalo- 7:30, ESPN2: This is going to be some matchup between two of the best from the MAC. If the Rockets pull this off, this will certainly be a 2-bid league, but the Bulls are the better team led by CJ Massinburg.
Pick: Buffalo
