The bracket

Title game: March 9 in Indianapolis

The skinny: The tournament begins Thursday and will take place on campus sites until the semifinals shift to Indy. Cleveland State and Wright State tied for the regular-season title, with Cleveland State earning the No. 1 seed through tiebreakers. But Wright State won 10 of its last 11 games. Fourth-place Northern Kentucky has won this tournament the past two years.

TWMM pick: Wright State. The preseason favorite is red hot.

Spoiler: Northern Kentucky
