First Round
3/8- (9) West Carolina (7-24; 4-14) vs (8) VMI (10-20; 4-14)- 5:00, ESPN+
Pick: VMI

3/8- (10) The Citadel (12-17; 4-14) vs (7) Samford (16-15; 6-12)- 7:30, ESPN+
Pick: Samford

Quarterfinals
3/9- (8) VMI vs (1) Wofford (26-4; 18-0)- 12:00, ESPN+
Pick: Wofford

3/9- (5) Chattanooga (12-19; 7-11) vs (4) East Tennessee State (23-8; 13-5)- 2:30, ESPN+
Pick: East Tennessee State

3/9- (7) Samford vs (2) UNC Greensboro (26-5; 15-3)- 6:00, ESPN+
Pick: UNC Greensboro

3/9- (6) Mercer (11-19; 6-12) vs (3) Furman (24-6; 13-5)- 8:30, ESPN+
Pick: Furman

Semifinals
3/10- (4) East Tennessee State vs (1) Wofford- 4:00, ESPN+
Pick: Wofford

3/10- (3) Furman vs (2) UNC Greensboro- 6:30, ESPN+: The winner of this game has a punchers chance to get an at-large bid considering the lack of major conference teams not being good enough. I'm going to take the Paladins here to advance in a close one.
Pick: Furman

Championship
3/11- (3) Furman vs (1) Wofford- 7:00, ESPN: This game is going to be sensational. The Terriers are deservingly ranked and have the best player in the conference on the team in Fletcher Magee and he'll lead the team to the auto-bid as the Paladins hold their breath on Selection Sunday.
Pick: Wofford
