With Selection Sunday coming up on March 12, mens’ teams across the nation are starting to punch their tickets to the NCAA tournament as automatic qualifiers (AQ) are handed out. Thirty-two teams will earn an AQ to the Big Dance, with the rest of the field filled out by 36 at-large teams.
The selection show for the men’s bracket starts at 6 p.m. ET on CBS, with the First Four taking place March 14 and 15 in Dayton, Ohio.
In order to keep track of which teams have already made it to the postseason, check out the running list below. This will be updated as conference tournaments finish.
This year’s field already includes one making its first appearance in the NCAA tournament in Kennesaw State (ASUN). Fairleigh Dickinson earned the AQ by winning one of the NEC’s semifinal games since Merrimack — the conference’s No. 1 seed — is ineligible due to transition to Division I.
ASUN - Kennesaw State
