The team took down Milwaukee, 83-76, in the Horizon League Tournament Championship game to earn an automatic-qualifying bid for the NCAA Tournament, its first appearance since going back-to-back years in 2010 and 2011. The championship win also marks the first time the Golden Grizzlies won the Horizon League Championship since joining the league in 2013.
 
The Selection Sunday show, which airs on CBS, will be streamed live on the south end broadcast board of the O'rena as the team awaits its seed, opponent and path for an NCAA Championship. The watch party will be FREE to all as Oakland University Athletics will provide FREE popcorn, pizza, water, pop and championship posters (while supplies last). The Golden Grizzlies Band will perform prior to the start of the show and the Oakland Dance team will greet fans at the entrance of the O'rena.
 
Fans will also have the opportunity to take pictures with the HORIZON LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP TROPHY, the CHAMPIONSHIP NET, AND the TICKET PUNCHED sign. EXCLUSIVE CHAMPIONSHIP MERCH will also be on sale during the watch party. Prior to the start of the Selection Sunday show, there will be a live Q & A session on the court with the team. Fans can submit their questions HERE.
 
Following the announcement of whom the Golden Grizzlies will face and where, head coach Greg Kampe will address the fans. A team-signed basketball will also be given away to one lucky fan! The team will also take pictures and sign autographs for all!
