As announced in last night’s selection show, Ferris State will have both women’s and men’s teams represented in this year's NCAA DII basketball tournaments.

The women’s squad was selected as the seventh seed in the Midwest region and will face the second seeded Ashland Eagles in Friday’s opening round of action at host Grand Valley State. Game time is set for 2:30 P.M. EST in Allendale on Mar. 14.

This year’s bid is the eighth all time for Ferris State, including the third over the past four seasons. The Bulldogs won the Midwest region a year ago as the #3 seed, defeating #6 Lewis, #2 Ashland, and #1 Grand Valley State en route to a national semi-final appearance for the first time in program history. This year’s squad boasts a 21-11 record and a championship game appearance in the GLIAC conference tournament this past Sunday.

On the men’s side, the Bulldogs clinched the fifth seed in the Midwest region and will face the number four seeded Missouri-St. Louis in Saturday’s opening round matchup at host Missouri-St. Louis. Game time is set for 8:30 P.M. EST in Rolla, Missouri on Mar. 15.

2025 marks the 18^th year for Ferris State making the national tournament and the ninth trip in 11 years. Last year, the men’s squad earned the number five seed and won the Midwest region at the University of Indianapolis. They defeated #4 Northern Michigan, #1 Indianapolis, and #6 Lake Superior State to reach the Elite 8. The Bulldogs currently sit at 25-8 and recently reached the GLIAC tournament championship semi-final this past weekend.
