This is a list of NCAA Division II men's basketball tournament bids by school, at the conclusion of the 2023 tournament. As of 2022, there are a total of 64 bids possible (23 automatic qualifiers, 41 at-large).[1]
Division II members
- Teams in bold competed in the 2023 NCAA Division II men's basketball tournament.
- Appearances include those made by schools in the NCAA College Division Men's Basketball Tournament, the direct predecessor to the current Division II and Division III tournaments. The NCAA did not adopt its current three-division alignment until the 1973–74 school year, when the College Division was split into Divisions II and III.
- School names reflect those in current use by their respective athletic programs, not necessarily those used when a school made an appearance in the Division II tournament. For example, Jefferson was known as Philadelphia College of Textiles & Science (athletically "Philadelphia Textile") when it won its NCAA title in 1970, Utah Tech was known as Dixie State during its Division II tenure, and Omaha used its institutional identity of Nebraska–Omaha when it made all of its D-II tournament appearances.
- Vacated appearances are not included in the standings.
