The Selection Sunday program, aired locally at 5 p.m., will be shown live on the arena’s video boards and the WKU players and coaching staff will be in attendance. This is the first time anyone will know WKU’s first round opponent along with the date and site of the matchup.

There is no admission price, parking is free in the lots adjacent to the arena, and doors open at 4:30 p.m. The ticket office will be open for fans interested in placing ticket orders.
