Complete Tournament Bracket

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - The Northwest Christian University men's basketball team now knows their opponent and game time for their first ever foray into the NAIA Division II Men's Basketball National Championship next week in Point Lookout, Mo. NCU will face No. 4 Cornerstone University (Mich.) in the first round on Thursday.

The unseeded Beacons will look to take down a Golden Eagle squad that won the Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference regular season championship and will be making their 12th NAIA tournament appearance.

The teams will face off on the second day of first-round action, tipping off on Thursday morning at 10:00 am local time.

NCU was one of three Cascade Collegiate Conference teams to qualify for the NAIA tournament. They will be joined by unseeded Concordia University, who earned the final at-large bid to the tournament, and No. 2 seeded College of Idaho, winners of the CCC regular season and tournament championships. Both the Cavaliers and Yotes will play their first round games on Wednesday evening.
