After winning the 2025 Coastal Athletic Association tournament championship, the UNCW men's basketball team is going dancing.

The Seahawks (27-7) return to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2017. They'll learn their opponent and seed in Sunday evening's NCAA Selection Show, which begins at 6 p.m.

The Seahawks will host a watch party at Trask Coliseum on Sunday. Doors open at 5 p.m., and admission is free.

Top scorer Donovan Newby was named the 2025 CAA Tournament Most Outstanding Player, leading the Seahawks past Delaware 76-72 in Tuesday's championship game at CareFirst Arena in Washington, D.C.

With its first chance in more than half a decade to shake up March Madness, UNCW is embracing its position as an underdog once again. Here's a look at the latest predictions and buzz surrounding UNCW's March Madness outlook.
