St. Mary's And Wesley Among The 62 Teams In The 2013 NCAA Division III Men's Basketball Championship Tournament

CAC regular-season and playoff champion St. Mary's, along with second place Wesley, learned their first-round opponents Monday when the bracket was announced for the 2013 NCAA Division III Men's Basketball Championship Tournament.

St. Mary's will host MIT in an opening-round game Saturday, March 2.  The winner will advance to a second-round game on March 9 against the winner of the Alvernia vs. Albertus-Magnus first-round clash.

Wesley gained an at-large berth to the tournament and will travel to Williams College for a first-round game on Saturday (3/2).  If the Wolverines win, they would face either Catholic University of Staten Island in a March 9 second-round showdown.

It's the second-straight year, and third time in the last four years, that the CAC has had two teams in the national championship tournament.

SMC is making its third-straight NCAA appearance (fourth in the last five years), while Wesley is making its third NCAA appearance in the last five years (first since 2010).  The Wolverines also played in the 2011 ECAC Championship Tournament, giving Wesley four post-season opportunities in the last five years.
