MEAC Women’s Basketball Tournament Projections

Posted on February 26, 2020

The MEAC Tournament is around the corner, and both brackets will be filled with some interesting matchups. Although the conference seems easy to call, this year’s tournament is deep on both ends. For the women, there are currently four teams with at least 10 conference wins. For the men, there are at least five teams with nine conference wins. And unlike previous seasons, the gap between first place and other top seeds is close; very close. 

Here’s your MEAC Tournament Projections before the last week of MEAC play begins. 

BCU 68, NSU 62 — So we have a share of the conference title for the 4th time in 5 years? Nice. Let's win the whole thing. Recap, stats, post-game interviews and photo gallery all at https://t.co/2aEdrlPbzY
