Format
Like previous editions of the NCAA Division I Tournament, the tournament will feature 48 participants out of a possible field of 198 teams. Of the 48 berths, 22 are allocated to the conference tournament or regular season winners. The remaining 26 berths are determined through an at-large process based upon teams' Ratings Percentage Index that did not win their conference tournament.
From there, the NCAA Selection Committee selects the top sixteen seeds for the tournament, that earn an automatic bye to the second round of the tournament. The remanining 32 teams play in a single-elimination match in the first round of the tournament, to play a seeded team in the second round.
Seeded teams
- Automatic A = Conference tournament winner.
- Automatic B = Conference regular season champion, conference has no tournament.
