The final automatic bids for the 2024 NCAA Tournament were handed out in the hours leading up to Sunday’s selection show. While the No. 1 seed is eliminated by the All-Americans in the conference tournament, there will be some unexpected participants in the Big Dance.
That includes Duquesne, which won the A-10 tournament as a No. 6 seed by defeating No. 5 seed VCU 57-51 in Sunday’s title game. The Dukes nearly lost an 18-point lead, but survived and advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1977.
Yale joined a slew of teams competing in the tournament on Sunday, defeating Brown 62-61 on Matt Knowling’s buzzer-beater with 30 seconds left in the Ivy League finals. The Bulldogs trailed by six points, but the Bears missed three of their final four free throw attempts, leaving Yale with a chance to make its second NCAA Tournament appearance in the last three years.
