2016 MAC Tournament

Many teams in college basketball's biggest conferences will make it to the NCAA basketball tournament regardless of whether or not they win their conference tournament. In the Mid-American Conference, teams must win the conference tournament to get selected to play at the Big Dance. At least that's traditionally been the case. So expect the mid-sized schools from the region (Kent State, Ohio University, Akron University, etc.) who'll duke it out at this year's tournament to engage in some real winner-take-all battles. Starting today at noon, both men's and women's teams will play at the Q, leading up to the championship games on Saturday. Ticket packages start at $10. Check the Q's website for more info. (Niesel)
