MIAMI SHORES, Fla. -- Barry University men's basketball team will gather at 10 p.m. Sunday night in the Health & Sports Center Landon Atrium to see if their name is chosen for the NCAA Division II National Tournament.

The players and coaches will gather with students and Buccaneers supporters following their Sunday night practice in the Landon Student Events Center near the television screens and Bucky's Cove/Wow as the NCAA Tournament brackets are revealed.
