Duquesne to Host 2015 NCAA Men’s Basketball Second and Third Rounds

The NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Committee has selected the city of Pittsburgh and Duquesne University to host the second and third round site for the 2015 NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship. The games will be held March 19 and 21, 2015, at the CONSOL Energy Center.

“We are pleased to once again have the opportunity to host the men’s NCAA Championship,” said Director of Athletics Greg Amodio. “The hard work of our staff as well as the staff at CONSOL Energy Center made last year’s event a success. We look forward to working with the city of Pittsburgh and CONSOL Energy Center to put on another first-class event.”

This marks the fifth time the city of Pittsburgh and Duquesne have been chosen to host an NCAA basketball championship, and the fourth time they’ve been selected as the men’s host. The University hosted the NCAA men’s first and second round in 1997 and 2002, and the NCAA women’s east regional in 2001 at the Civic/Mellon Arena. Duquesne hosted second and third round men’s games at CONSOL Energy Center last year

Ticket information will be released by the Department of Athletics as it becomes available.
