Jonesboro, AR – Contributed – The Arkansas State women’s basketball team earned a bye to the second round of the WNIT and will host the winner of Radford and Morehead State at First National Bank Arena. 

The game is currently scheduled for Monday, March 23, at 7 p.m., although the date and time are subject to change.

The Red Wolves will play in the WNIT for the first time since the 2015-16 season after making their first-ever NCAA Tournament last season, marking the program’s first back-to-back postseason appearances since its two WNIT appearances in the 2014-15 and 2015-16 seasons.

A-State enters the tournament 24-9 with a 14-4 conference record and a Sun Belt Championship Semifinals appearance. The Red Wolves enter the postseason with their most wins since the 2015-16 season and have already set program records for most threes made and steals.

Game tickets are $10 each, and premium-area tickets (suites and courtside) are $25 each; A-State students receive free admission with their ASU student ID. Fans with season tickets, including those in premium areas, will have the first opportunity to purchase them. Those seats will be held until noon on Friday, March 20, before being made available to the general public. The Red Wolves Foundation will contact suite holders to determine how many tickets they would like to purchase.

A link to purchase online for non-season ticket holders will be posted to Arkansas State Athletics’ official social media accounts today.  Digital tickets will be available in the A-State Athletics App, and fans can also purchase tickets by visiting or contacting the First National Bank Arena box office at (870) 972-2781.
