Where to watch NCAA D2 men's basketball championship: Time, TV channel, live stream for Gannon vs. Lander originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
This Sunday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, Gannon and Lander meet for the NCAA Division II men’s basketball national championship.
Both programs are chasing their first-ever national title in a matchup that pits two of the country's hottest teams against each other on the biggest stage in D2 hoops.
Gannon (33-3) returns to the championship game for the first time since 1987, led by the "Aussie Twins," Lucas and Mackenzie Morgan, who combined for 48 points in their semifinal win.
Three years ago, the Golden Knights were a three-win program miles away from any postseason conversation. Fast forward through a meteoric three-season rise, and the transformation is staggering: 92 victories, two PSAC tournament titles, and a second trip to the Elite Eight in three years. Now, they stand on the verge of the ultimate prize, playing for the first national championship in school history.
They face a red-hot Lander (30-5) squad currently on a 15-game winning streak. The Bearcats punched their ticket to Indy by knocking off the defending champions, Nova Southeastern, and are making their first-ever appearance in a national final. The matchup features a classic contrast: Gannon’s high-octane offense against Lander’s "Blue Wall" defense.
One of these programs is guaranteed to walk away with its first-ever national trophy, capping off a historic climb to the top of the Division II landscape.
Here's everything you need to know for the championship time, including start time and streaming information.
