(WTHI) - The NCAA Men’s Division 1 basketball tournament now includes plans with Indiana State University. The university will help with practices for men’s basketball teams this month. The Indiana Convention Center will serve as a practice site for all 68 teams in the NCAA Tournament this year. Indiana State University will serve as the official host for that practice site. A very important distinction to be made for basketball fans out there: The Hulman Center will not be playing host. Teams won’t actually come to Terre Haute, but ISU Athletics Director Sherard Clinkscales walked through the critical role Indiana State staff and personnel will play in Indianapolis.
