The team will play either in the southeastern state of Missouri or at Texas A&M Corpus-Christi. Those two will compete to win the No. 16 seed in the pool.

The Houston Cougars were named the No. 1 seed in the Midwest Region even as they lost the American Athletic Conference tournament championship to Memphis earlier that day. They are the No. 2 overall seed. The Cougars will play Northern Kentucky in the first round.

The Kansas Jayhawks were named the No. 1 seed in the West Regional. The Jayhawks will face Howard in the first round. Bill Self is ready to be on the sidelines when he’s released from the hospital. Kansas lost to Texas in the Big 12 Championship.

The Purdue Boilermakers received the final No. 1 seed in the East Regional. Purdue defeated Penn State in the Big Ten Championship and will play the winner between Fairleigh Dickson and Texas Southern in the first round.

Defending national champion North Carolina failed to make the tournament after a disappointing 2022-23 campaign.

The first round games are scheduled for Thursday and Friday, while the second round games are scheduled for Saturday and Sunday. The Final Four will begin on Saturday with the winner of the South Regional facing the winner of the East Regional and the winner of the Midwest Regional facing the winner of the West Regional. The national championship will be played on April 3.
