You are correct. It is not. The reality for any Division I basketball

program is the ability to garner one of 37 spots available in the Tournament. One of those 37 spots being whatever conference automatic bid the league offers that the school plays in. And then one of 36 at large bids. 31 spots are literally unavailable for all schools each year.

Huh what?!

That's a common misconception.

68 teams and I would argue it isn't the best 68 in the country.
LvilleHokie • 03/13/24 10:12 PM ET
The top 48 are in there and that will include the national champion
Walkin` Willie • 03/14/24 01:15 PM ET
Is there anyone who does argue it’s the best 68?**
Pride_and_Joy • 03/14/24 05:05 AM ET
OP said top 64 teams go to the tourney.**
LvilleHokie • 03/14/24 09:16 AM ET
Fair enough.
Pride_and_Joy • 03/14/24 09:24 AM ET
Agreed**
LvilleHokie • 03/14/24 09:24 AM ET
I mean, yeah. Can't make a good argument for Tech earning a shot at the NC

Which means to make the tournament not off the autobid process
