UB will recognize the historical seasons of the men’s and women’s basketball teams at a special UB Basketball Celebration on April 13.

The free event, being held from 5:30-6:30 p.m. in Alumni Arena, North Campus, will feature special team introductions, video recaps of the teams’ record-breaking seasons, interviews with players and coaches, a meet-and-greet with players and coaches on the court, and much more.

Concessions and the UB Team Shop will be open during the event.

Following the celebration, head over to UB Stadium to watch the 2018 UB football spring game at 7 p.m.

After winning their Mid-American Conference championships, both teams won their first-round games in the NCAA Tournament for the first time ever, with the 13-seeded men upsetting No. 4 seed Arizona, 89-68, and the 11-seed women upsetting 6-seed South Florida, 102-79. While the men went on to lose their second-round game to fifth-seed Kentucky, 95-75, the women knocked off Florida State on its home court, 86-65, to advance to the Sweet 16 round.

The women’s Cinderella season ended the next weekend in Albany with a 79-63 loss to South Carolina. South Carolina went on to lose to Notre Dame in the championship game, 61-58, on April 1.
