NJCAA post season basketball is underway and its selection show day for the PCC Mens and Womens Basketball programs.
Starting with the mens, the Aztecs are coming off Region I, Division II Championship win
This will be the first time PCC Men’s Basketball is heading to the NJCAA Division II National Tournament since 2019 with the number nine seeding.
Last year, we got upset in the finals,” PCC Men’s Basketball Coach Brian Peabody said. “We didnt make the tournament, so it kept motivating me to work really hard, recruit really hard and practice really hard and Ive got a really unique group of kids that deserve to go.
We just want to prove ourselves.” PCC Sophomore Guard, Dillan Baker said. “We have a tough first round game and built to have a tough schedule all the way through and thats what you want in a tournament.
As for the womens team, despite not winning their conference tournament, they still received the 13th seed on an at-large bid.
Im just really thankful and happy that we get to keep playing as a team,” PCC Sophomore forward, Dominique Acosta said. “I just knew this season wasnt over for us so fast so Im really excited.
Ninth seed mens basketball will take on eighth seed Des Moines Area Community College on March 19 in Danville, Illinois.
Thirteenth seed womens basketball will take on 20th seed Coastal Alabama Community College-North March 18 in Joplin, Missouri.
