Cal Lutheran won its first SCIAC Tournament championship and earned the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. The Kingsmen are in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2000-01. 

Rowan University is hosting the first two rounds and Cal Lutheran will start the tournament with them on Friday, March 3. 

The championship is a 64-team tournament. Automatic qualification (AQ) is granted to 44 conference champions, which form "Pool A." The remaining 20 teams are selected from those teams in conferences with automatic bids that did not win their conference's AQ and the remaining Pool B institutions (Pool C).

Sixteen sites will host four teams for first- and second-round competition Friday-Saturday, March 3-4. Second-round winners will advance to one of four sectional sites March 10-11. Winners of the four sectional championship games will advance to the semi-finals and finals March 16 and 18. All games, except the semi-finals and finals, will be played on the campuses of competing institutions. The semi-finals and finals will be held at the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum in Fort Wayne, IN.
