McNeese is one of just four teams in Division I basketball with 30 or more wins and has caught the attention of Gonzaga head coach Mark Few who is making his 25th straight appearance in the dance.

For just the third time in school history and the first time since 2002, the Cowboys (30-3) will play in The Big Dance. The Cowboys' program has never received a higher seed, and the 12-seed also corresponds with the highest seed a Southland Conference club has received in the previous 40 years (SFA in 2014 and 2015).
