The winner of the
Ohio Valley Conference tournament goes to the NCAA tournament
Wichita State is in the Missouri Valley Conference. They were listed as being in the South Regional in the 2012 NCAA tournament.
A team automatically qualifies for the NCAA Tournament by winning their Conference Tournament except for the Ivy League. Their regular season champion advances because they do not have a conference tournament.
The Ivy League also sends the regular season champion, as the conference has no tournament to end the season.
The number of NCAA tournament wins by conference overall is led by the Big East. Coming a close second is the Atlantic Coast Conference and then after them is the Big 12.
An at large bid is awarded to a team that makes the NCAA Tournament, but did not win their Conference Tournament.
