Qualification
A total of 64 bids are available for each tournament: 24 automatic bids (awarded to the champions of the twenty-two Division II conferences) and 40 at-large bids.
The sixty-four bids are allocated evenly among the eight NCAA-designated regions (Atlantic, Central, East, Midwest, South, South Central, Southeast, and West), each of which contains three of the twenty-four Division II conferences that sponsor men's basketball. Each region consists of three automatic qualifiers (the teams who won their respective conference tournaments) and five at-large bids (which are awarded regardless of conference affiliation).
Seven teams qualified for their first NCAA Division II tournament in 2019: Concordia-Irvine, Daemen, Emmanuel, Molloy, Notre Dame (Ohio), Nova Southeastern, and Walsh. Six of these teams lost their first round game, with Nova Southeastern not only hosting the South Regional Tournament, but winning it, as well, advancing to the Elite Eight, before losing to St. Anselm.
