HWCI NCAA Pool History
]
Four teams (Little Rock, Oregon St, Yale, and Stony Brook) are making the tournament (64 proper) for the first time since at least 1994. Cells in light blue indicate first-ever tournament appearance (58 teams). Cells in light green indicate first appearance in the proper 64 but lost in an Opening Round or First Four game (Lehigh (2010) and Little Rock (2015)). At least one new team has appeared each year of our pool. Here are the 256 NCAA Division I teams that have been in our pool (not including the loser of the 64v65 Play-In Game from 2001-2010 or First Four Games starting in 2011 which would have included Lehigh (2004), Alabama A&M (2005), Arkansas-Little Rock (2011), North Florida (2015)).
