Green Bay is the place to be, believe it or not, for NIU basketball fans.

The postseason tournaments for the Mid-Continent and the North Star Conferences will both be held in Packers country. At stake is a guaranteed NCAA Tournament berth for both squads.

A limited number of ticket orders for both meets will be accepted by the NIU Athletic Ticket Office (753-0353).

The Mid-Continent Tournament begins on March 3 and ends in the championship game on March 5. The North Star meet runs from March 7-9. The brackets will not be determined until the end of the regular conference season.

Brown County Arena hosts the M-C Tourney while the NSC meet will be held on UW-GB’s campus at the Phoenix Sports Center.

Lodging in the area, roughly a five-hour trip by car from DeKalb, is already in high demand during the tournaments. Local information is available from the Green Bay Convention Bureau (AC 414 / 494-9507).
