Advertiser Staff

The Brigham Young-Hawai'i men's basketball team received an at-large bid to the NCAA Division II National Championship Tournament yesterday.

The Seasiders (19-9 overall, 10-5 PacWest) will play ninth-ranked Seattle Pacific in the first round of the West Regional in San Bernardino, Calif., on Thursday.

Seattle Pacific finished 23-4 overall and 15-3 in the Great Northwest Conference.

"We're excited about the tournament," BYU-Hawai'i coach Ken Wagner said. "We played the toughest schedule this year, in fact, it was possibly the toughest schedule in all of Division II, and it's nice to be rewarded for doing it."
