winner plays 4. Central Michigan
The Falcons are limping into the MAC Tournament, losers of 10 of their last 11 and 12 of the last 14. They head to Kent on Monday night looking to avenge two earlier losses to the Flashes, who are on a bit of a skid themselves. Rob Senderoff's squad has lost the last five road contests, so it's a good thing that the Flashes aren't taking the bus to their first round opponent.
Kent State is really good at home this year, only losing twice - to Buffalo and Toledo.
