The countdown to the 2022 NCAA men's tournament is underway!

As more conference tournaments conclude, more tickets are punched into the March Madness field, which we'll keep track of right here.

The full bracket consists of 68 teams, with 32 schools that automatically get selected from winning their conference tournaments. The other 36 are picked as at-large selections, decided upon by the NCAA Tournament Selection Committee.

The final NCAA men's selection show is scheduled for Sunday, March 13 at 6 p.m. ET.

What teams have clinched automatic bids in the 2022 NCAA Men's Tournament?

1. Murray State - Ohio Valley Conference (Field +3000)

The Racers were the first NCAA men's team to get an automatic bid, defeating Morehead State 71-67 on Saturday, March 5th.

2. Longwood - Big South (Field +3000)

Congrats to the No. 1 seeded Lancers for making their first NCAA Tournament appearance, defeating No. 2 Winthrop 79-58.

3. Loyola Chicago - Missouri Valley Conference (+10000 to win the NCAA Tournament)

No Porter Moser? No problem for first year head coach Drew Valentine and the Ramblers. The 4-seed in the Missouri Valley won 64-58 over No. 3 seeded Drake on Sunday, going to the NCAA Tournament for the third time in five seasons.

4. Jacksonville State - ASUN (Field +3000)

Bellarmine ended up winning the ASUN Tournament with a 53-30 over Liberty, but Jacksonville State ends up benefitting from the victory.
Since the Knights are transitioning to be a D-1 program and are in Year 2, they are not eligible for the NCAA Tournament. The regular season champion Jacksonville State still gets to go to the dance!
