2018 Conference-USA Tournament Predictions

Here are my predictions for the 2018 Conference-USA tournament. The tournament will be held at the Ford Center in Frisco, Texas.

First Round
3/7- (9) Southern Miss (14-17; 7-11) vs (8) FIU (14-17; 8-10)- 7:00
Prediction: FIU

3/7- (12) UTEP (11-19; 6-12) vs (5) UTSA (18-13; 11-7)- 7:00
Prediction: UTSA

3/7- (10) Louisiana Tech (16-15; 7-11) vs (7) North Texas (15-16; 8-10)- 9:30
Prediction: North Texas

3/7- (11) FAU (12-18; 6-12) vs (6) UAB (19-12; 10-8)- 10:00
Prediction: UAB

Quarterfinals
3/8- (8) FIU vs (1) Middle Tennessee (24-6; 16-2)- TBD
Prediction: Middle Tennessee

3/8- (5) UTSA vs (4) Marshall (21-10; 12-6)- TBD
Prediction: Marshall

3/8- (7) North Texas vs (2) Old Dominion (24-6; 15-3)- TBD
Prediction: Old Dominion

3/8- (6) UAB vs (3) WKU (22-9; 14-4)- TBD
Prediction: WKU

Semifinals
3/9- (4) Marshall vs (1) Middle Tennessee- TBD, CBSSN: The Thundering Herd beat the Blue Raiders about a week ago, but I like the Red Raiders to get revenge.
Prediction: Middle Tennessee

3/9- (3) WKU vs (2) Old Dominion- TBD, CBSSN: The Hilltoppers swept the Monarchs in the regular season and I say the Hilltoppers beat the Monarchs again for a third time.
Prediction: WKU

Championship
3/10- (3) WKU vs (1) Middle Tennessee- TBD, CBSSN: Thus would be a fun conference championship game between two solid teams. The Blue Raiders are the better team led by Conference Player of the Year Nick King and Giddy Potts and they'll get the auto-bid to the Big Dance.
Prediction: Middle Tennessee
