2018 NCBBA National Championship History

Indiana University (South Bend) – South Bend, IN – April 6th – 8th, 2018

2018 was yet again another record year of growth for the The National Club Basketball Association as the league grew to over 100 schools including the addition of the Southern Pacific Region.  This western growth moved the mid point of the NCBBA further west causing a need for a new venue in proximity to the new center of the league.  South Bend, IN came calling with open arms and it was quickly determined that Indiana University – South Bend would be the perfect venue to host our National Championship.  Eight NCBBA teams advanced to the National Championship tournament through the new 4-team Regional Playoff format.  The National Championship took place Friday, April 6th through Sunday, April 9th once again in a single elimination, three-day tournament that ultimately determined the 2018 National Champion.  On Saturday (April 7th) the 3rd annual NCBBA skills competition and 2nd annual NCBBA All Star Game were held.
