HOUSTON, TX – The NCAA Division III Men's Basketball Committee has officially announced the 64-team field for the 2025 NCAA Division III Men's Basketball Championship. The University of St. Thomas (25-2), fresh off winning both the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC) regular-season and tournament titles, is set to make its third consecutive trip to the NCAA Tournament—this time, as the SCAC's automatic qualifier.
