NCAA Tournament Bracket

NIT Bracket

The Davidson Wildcats men's basketball team, winners of the Southern Conference's automatic bid, was named a 15 seed by the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament Selection Committee and will play Ohio State on Friday, March 17 in Dayton, Ohio. These two teams played each other in the first round last time Davidson played in the NCAA Tournament in 2002.

The winner of the Davidson-Ohio State will face the winner of the Georgetown-Northern Iowa game on Sunday.  Game times will be announced on Monday.

Georgia Southern, meanwhile, learned its fate tongiht with the National Invitation Tournament.  The Eagles will face Charlotte on Tuesday in Charlotte in an opening round game.  Gametime has yet to be announced.  Winner of the game will meet Cincinnati on Friday.

More than 400 students and fans gathered with the team in the C. Shaw Smith 900 Room of the Alvarez Student Union to discover what seed the NCAA assigned to the Wildcats. The drama took nearly the entire hour-long show on CBS as Davidson was one of the last team unveiled in the bracket.

This is the eighth trip to the NCAA Tournament for Davidson, and third under head coach Bob McKillop. When the 'Cats played Ohio State four years ago in the first round as a 13 seed, they nearly pulled off the upset before falling by five points, 69-64.
