A lot of good teams where not given a bid for the tournament this year, while the 15-20 Liberty Flames will get a chance.

La Salle has also seen lots of success this season, but they first must win to get in the tournament.

The winner of Liberty v. North Carolina A&T will play No. 1 Louisville in the Midwest bracket. The winner Middle Tennessee State vs. St. Mary’s will play No. 6 Memphis in the Midwest Bracket.

The winner of LIU Brooklyn vs. James Madison will play No. 1 Indiana in the East regional.
