First Round
3/7- (9) Arkansas State (16-15; 8-12) at (8) Louisiana (13-18; 8-12)- 12:00, ESPN+
Prediction: Louisiana

3/7- (10) Coastal Carolina (15-16; 8-12) at (7) UT-Arlington (14-17; 10-10)- 2:00, ESPN+
Prediction: UT-Arlington

Second Round
3/9- (8) Louisiana at (5) Georgia Southern (18-13; 12-8)- 7:00, ESPN+
Prediction: Georgia Southern

3/9- (7) UT-Arlington at (6) Appalachian State (17-14; 11-9)- 7:00, ESPN+
Prediction: Appalachian State

Quarterfinals
3/11- (5) Georgia Southern at (4) Georgia State (19-12; 12-8)- 7:00, ESPN+
Prediction: Georgia State

3/11- (6) Appalachian State at (3) Texas State (20-11; 13-7)- 8:00, ESPN+

Semifinals
3/14- (4) Georgia State vs (1) Little Rock (21-10; 15-5)- 12:30, ESPN+
Prediction: Little Rock

3/14- (3) Texas State vs (2) South Alabama (20-11; 13-7)- 3:00, ESPN+
Prediction: Texas State

Championship
3/15- (3) Texas State vs (1) Little Rock- 2:00, ESPN2: This should be a fun game here between two solid teams. The Trojans went on a surprise run in the tournament a few years ago when Chris Beard was coaching the team and I think they make the Dance for the first time since that season led by Markquis Nowell.
Prediction: Little Rock
