The pep band will be there too. There was a lot of excitement on our group chat today because of it.
 

 
Glad to hear the pep band will be there, that will definitely add to the environment

John Bohnenkamp had a good story about the team's journey to the WNIT bid. Sounds like they were considered but JD didn't think they would get invited but a team that was going to be in the tournament backed out, so WIU got the nod. So I wondered who backed out to open a spot for WIU.

Very proud of this team I thought going into the OVC tournament we would probably lose in the first round and we would look at as another disappointing season. But instead we win 2 games in OVC tournament and we’re right in the 3rd game. Then they go out tonight and the game was never really in question. I’m excited for what they can do in the next game but I’m excited for next season to get here

It's apparently a NCAA rule that in the postseason the band has to be on their team's side. We did that at the OVC tournament too.

I would just think that there could be issues with the student section and the opposing team bench being that close
