Here are my predictions for the 2019 SoCon Tournament. The tournament will be held at the Harrah's Cherokee Center in Asheville, North Carolina.

First Round
3/6- (9) VMI (8-23; 3-15) vs (8) Samford (10-22; 4-14)- 5:00, ESPN+
Prediction: Samford

3/6- (10) The Citadel (6-23; 0-18) vs (7) Wofford (16-15; 8-10)- 7:30, ESPN+
Prediction: Wofford

Quarterfinals
3/7- (8) Samford vs (1) East Tennessee State (27-4; 16-2)- 12:00, ESPN+
Prediction: East Tennessee State

3/7- (5) Western Carolina (18-11; 10-8) vs (4) Mercer (17-14; 11-7)- 2:30, ESPN+
Prediction: Western Carolina

3/7- (7) Wofford vs (2) Furman (25-6; 15-3)- 6:00, ESPN+
Prediction: Furman

3/7- (6) Chattanooga (19-12; 10-8) vs (3) UNC Greensboro (23-8; 13-5)- 8:30, ESPN+
Prediction: UNC Greensboro

Semifinals
3/8- (5) Western Carolina vs (1) East Tennessee State- 4:00, ESPN+: The Catamounts have been a nice surprise this season, but the Buccaneers are the more superior team.
Prediction: East Tennessee State

3/8- (3) UNC Greensboro vs (2) Furman- 6:30, ESPN+: This is some game for a semi-final. The winner of this matchup has a realistic shot to win this auto bid and I think the Paladins take this in a close one.
Prediction: Furman

Championship
3/9- (2) Furman vs (1) East Tennessee State- 7:00, ESPN: This is going to be a fantastic game between two teams that could be a bracket buster. I think Trau Boyd ends up leading the way for the Buccaneers as they win the auto bid.
Prediction: East Tennessee State
