MAC Tournament Awaits Bulls

The Bulls will head into this week's Mid-American Conference Tournament in Toledo, Ohio seeded seventh. UB's first round opponent is yet to be determined as Ball State, Bowling Green and Western Michigan tied for first place. A coin flip or drawing will have to take place to break the tie since all three squads were 1-1 against each other in head-to-head competition. The Bulls will take on the second seed from the group at 9:00 am on Thursday in the single elimination format. Semifinals and finals are scheduled for Friday and Saturday at 1:00 pm.
