Dancing in St. Louis; Men's Basketball Draws North Park for First Round of NCAA Tournament

INDIANAPOLIS - The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) announced on Monday afternoon the 64 teams playing in the 2023 NCAA Division III Men's Basketball Tournament. The University of the South, earning the automatic qualifier after securing the Southern Athletic Association (SAA) Tournament Championship, will head to St. Louis for the first two rounds on March 3-4. 

Live coverage is provided on the Regional Central page or on the men's basketball schedule on our website. 

Sewanee was one of 44 teams who won their conference and earned an automatic qualifier. The other 20 teams in the field were listed as "Pool C", meaning that there were at-large selections from automatic-qualifying conferences that are not their conference champion. 

The Tigers will be heading to St. Louis for the Washington University (WashU) Regional this weekend. First round action happens on Friday, March 3. Sewanee's first opponent will be North Park University (Ill.), winners of the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin (CCIW). 

The other side of the regional will feature the Bears of WashU, who were an at-large selection, and Coe College, winners of the American Rivers Conference.

Sewanee and North Park will tip-off at 4:25 p.m., with WashU and Coe to follow at 6:55 p.m. on Friday night. The Round of 32 matchup, also at WashU, will be played on Saturday evening at 6:55 p.m.

Below is the series history for each of the schools in the regional:
  • North Park - First Meeting
  • Coe - First Meeting
  • Washington - WashU leads series, 5-1 (last met in 1992)
