NSU will be leaving the comfort of their Barnett Center home for their final two home games...and will take a step back in time at the Civic Arena.
Though this is crunch time for the wolves basketball programs...Athletic Director Josh Moon says the players are excited for this unique opportunity and says fans should be ready to take a step back in time. "As you can see seats in this facility are from way back, old wooden chairs. I think people are going to have nostalgia when they come back in here and feel like "I sat in that seat 30 years ago, and this is the first time I saw northern basketball,"...the attendance and how important northern basketball is to this region is something special."
Here is the schedule for the weekend at the Civic Arena...the women tipped off a 6 and men start tonight at 8. Tomorrow the women hit the floors at 5 and men at 7
Some great conference showdowns. Tickets are still available at the door for all games so if you are looking to go a little old school here is your chance.
