NCAA Tourney this Thursday at Buckley's

After a (gulp) 10-year break from NCAA tournament play, Michigan was selected on Sunday as a #10-seed to face off in the first round of tourney play this Thursday against the Clemson Tigers!

Join your fellow alumni for game-viewing and happy hour at Buckley’s in Belltown this Thursday, March 19 about 4:00 to grab a seat at the bar and cheer for the maize and blue. Street parking is available, as are happy hour prices from 3-6 PM.

Street parking can be found along 2nd Avenue and Battery St, and lots are at 4th and Battery and between Bell and Battery on 1st Avenue.

See our Web Site for all the details.
