NKU’s Alumni Association will host a watch party Friday at Braxton Brewing Company for alumni and students. The university is also setting up a watch party in Indianapolis and on campus the night of the big game.
Players and fans jumped out of their seats Sunday as the Cinderella-story team drew the University of Kentucky in their first-ever March Madness dance.
Will Weber, student body president, said details on the watch party are still being finalized, but he’s hoping Norse fans will be able to attend for little to no cost.
“So right now it looks like -- fingers crossed -- it should be free to come, have a great time and they just want everybody there showing support for their team up in Indianapolis,” Weber said.
Students can enter their name in a drawing to win free tickets until Wednesday when the winners are announced.
