KENNESAW, Ga. – Kennesaw State is inviting all fans to come to VyStar Arena on Sunday night to celebrate with the men’s basketball team and watch the Selection Show as the Owls find out who and where they are playing in the 2026 NCAA Tournament. The Owls are making their second-ever appearance in March Madness in their Division I era after winning the Conference USA Championship title Saturday night with a 71-60 win over Louisiana Tech. The 68-team field for this year’s NCAA Tournament will be announced starting at 6 p.m. on CBS.
The doors will open to the general public and KSU students at 5 p.m. with free admission and parking in the East Parking Deck. Kennesaw State Owl apparel will be available for purchase in VyStar Arena, and fans are encouraged to wear Black and Gold to the viewing party.
NCAA Tournament ticket information for the Owls’ opening game will be available at a later time. Please note that KSU will receive a very limited number of tickets for this event regardless of which site the Owls are sent to.
