2023 NAIA MEN'S BASKETBALL BRACKET
WINONA LAKE, Ind. - Grace's men's basketball team was rewarded for its sensational season with a No. 1 seed in the 2023 NAIA National Championships.
The Lancers (28-3) will square off with No. 16 Columbia International on Tuesday at 6 p.m. in the NAIA First Round, which will be held at Grace's Manahan Orthopaedic Capital Center.
The winner will play in the second round on Wednesday (6 p.m.) against either No. 8 Olivet Nazarene or No. 9 Madonna; that game will also be held in Winona Lake.
Grace was selected as a host site for the NAIA First and Second Rounds (presented by Ballogy), meaning Grace will host three games next week, beginning on Tuesday.
The winner of the Winona Lake Bracket will punch a ticket to the NAIA's final site in Kansas City, where the remainder of the Sweet Sixteen will be played out. The Lancers advanced to Kansas City last year before bowing out in the Sweet Sixteen.
All three NAIA games will be available to watch (www.gclancers.com/live) and to follow with live stats (https://naiastats.prestosports.com/sports/mbkb/scoreboard). Tickets are available for sale now at www.gclancers.com/tickets.Â
