Winners of the NJCAA Region 6 Division 2 Men’s Basketball Tournament and automatic berth into the NJCAA Division 2 National Tournament, Kansas City Kansas Community College has received the number 14 seed in the 20-team tournament after qualifying for the tournament for the first time since 2020 when the National Tournament was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Blue Devils will play in game three on the opening day of the tournament on Monday, March 17th, against 19th seeded Raritan Valley Community College, who won the East District B Title over Monroe Community College to represent Region 19 in the National Tournament.
