In the first round No. 5 Detroit Mercy hosts No. 12 Robert Morris, No. 6 Youngstown State hosts 11th-seeded UIC, No. 7 Green Bay hosts 10th-seeded Purdue Fort Wayne and No. 8 Milwaukee hosts No. 9 IUPUI.<\/p>\n

Along with the Raiders, No. 1-seeded Cleveland State, No. 3 Oakland and No. 4 Northern Kentucky await their quarterfinal opponents.<\/p>\n
