Mens NCAA Regional Picks

The Regional bids are out for the men in Division I. Three regional sites will have 27 teams and six individuals not on those 27 teams competing. The top 10 teams and two individuals from teams not advancing will make the trip to Sunriver, Oregon for the National Championships.
