MAC Commissioner Jon A. Steinbrecher has expressed confidence that the conference will secure two bids for the NCAA tournament this year, a significant milestone not achieved in 27 years.

This prediction follows Miami (OH)'s recent defeat to UMass in the league quarterfinals, which ended their impressive regular season with a 31-0 record.

The implications of this potential dual qualification could enhance the conference's visibility and competitive stature within NCAA basketball.
