Jennies basketball (24-6) is scheduled to begin its NCAA Tournament run with a matchup against Lindenwood (21-7).

The Jennies enter the postseason as the third seed in the Central Region behind Fort Hays State (30-1) and Southwestern Oklahoma (30-1). Lindenwood earned the sixth seed but dropped all three matchups against the Jennies this season including in the semifinals of the MIAA Tournament Saturday.

Tip between the Jennies and Lions is scheduled for noon Friday at Gross Memorial Coliseum in Hays, Kansas.
