Selection Process
The seedings are similar to the NCAA Tournament with the exception that higher seeds always host their games. Selection is currently done by a committee of six former NCAA head coaches who prepare a list of potential teams and vote by secret ballot. There is no limit on the number of teams that can be chosen from one conference.NIT -
