The 68-team NCAA men’s basketball tournament will include Nebraska, Iowa, Iowa State, North Dakota State and Creighton.

Three of those teams will play in San Antonio, Texas, on Friday. Nebraska will face Baylor and Creighton will take on Louisiana Lafayette with the winners set to meet in second round action.

Big 12 tourney champ Iowa State will also have a San Antonio venue for its game with North Carolina Central.

Summit League champ North Dakota State heads to Spokane, Washinton, to take on Oklahoma in a first round game Thursday.

Iowa was on the bubble and will have a play-in game Wednesday in Dayton against Tennessee. The winner of that game comes right back Friday in Raleigh, N.C., against the University of Massachusetts.
