The Marquette community is invited to a NCAA selection show party at the Union Sports Annex on Sunday, March 17. Doors open at 4:30 p.m. and the show begins at 5 p.m. Complimentary refreshments will be provided. Additionally, the Spirit Shop will extend its hours until 5 p.m. and sell t-shirts at the selection show party.
