RICHARDSON, TX (03.01.10) – The UT Dallas men’s basketball team received an at-large bid to the 2010 NCAA Division III Tournament, punching its second straight ticket to the “Big Dance.”
The Comets (23-5) will host the winner of Mary Hardin-Baylor and Wheaton (IL) on Saturday, March 6, at the UTD Activity Center in Richardson, TX. UMHB (22-6) and Wheaton (18-8) will square off in a first round contest on Thursday, March 4, at the Cru’s Mayborn Arena.
On Sunday, UTD was clipped 80-70 by UMHB in the American Southwest Conference Tournament Championship, held in Belton, TX. The Comets will be making their third appearance at the national stage since 2005, and the Cru will enter the tournament for the third time in four years.
Last season, UTD advanced all the way to the Elite Eight of the national tournament, falling in overtime to Guilford College. The Comets, who also earned a “bye” in 2009, are 2-2 all-time in NCAA postseason play.
Should UTD claim a second-round win, the Comets will face the winner of a North region that includes Hope College (21-7), UW-Stevens Point (23-4), Carleton (19-9) and St. Norbert (22-3).
