The men’s tournament remains in Hutchinson, Kansas, where it will be played for at least another 25 years. The women’s tournament, after an 18-year run in nearby Salina, has moved to the Lubbock in the Lone Star State for at least three years.

The Cardinals, winners of 27 straight going into the tournament are the No. 1 seed in the 24-team men’s bracket. The Lady Cards, making their ninth straight trip to the event, are the No. 6 seed in the women’s bracket, also 24 teams.
