The UNC Asheville men’s basketball team, fresh off its victory in the Big South Conference tournament, will hold an open practice at the Justice Center, 3:30 p.m. Sunday.  The Bulldogs are riding a six-game winning streak as they prepare for their first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2003. 

At 5:30 p.m., after the practice,, players and fans will begin gathering at the Grotto in the Highsmith University Union for a Selection Sunday party featuring the CBS television broadcast that begins at 6 p.m and will reveal the tournament brackets.

It will be an exciting time as the Bulldogs learn their next travel destination and their opponent. The practice and the party are both free and open to the public, and there will be an autograph session with players and coaches in Highsmith.
