KENNESAW, Ga. – The No. 1 seeded Kennesaw State men's basketball opens play in the 2023 ASUN Tournament with a quarterfinal contest on Tuesday, Feb. 28 at 7 p.m. in the Convocation Center. The Owls will face the winner of Monday's First Round game between No. 9 seed Queens and No. 10 seed FGCU. The game will be streamed live on ESPN+.
Tickets are available at KSUOwls.com, while all KSU students are free with a valid student ID while supplies last. The first 400 fans will receive free pizza, while there are 2,000 commemorative posters that will be available free to fans Tuesday night as well.
A FEW NOTES
♦ The Owls finished in a tie at the top of the standings with Liberty but hold the tiebreaker due to KSU's win over the Flames on Feb. 16. That also clinches the first-ever national postseason tournament appearance for the Owls, as if they do not win the ASUN tournament and advance to the NCAA Tournament, they will receive an auto-bid to the NIT.
♦ The Owls will host every game in this year's tournament they play in, including the championship game if they advance that far. This is the second straight year, and second-time ever KSU has hosted a postseason game as a Division I program.
