Jonesboro, AR – JonesboroRightNow.com – Postseason basketball is coming back to First National Bank Arena.

The Arkansas State Lady Red Wolves will host Radford Monday night in a second-round matchup of the Women’s National Invitation Tournament (WNIT). Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m., with officials noting the date and time are subject to change.

Arkansas State earned a first-round bye in the tournament, marking the program’s ninth appearance in the WNIT and continuing a strong season under head coach Destinee Rogers.

The Lady Red Wolves enter postseason play following a deep run in the Sun Belt Conference Tournament, where they advanced to the semifinal round before falling to Troy.

Monday’s game gives A-State a chance to extend its season on its home court — something the program has emphasized as a key advantage.

Tickets and Fan Information

Tickets are currently on sale for the matchup:

General admission: $10 (plus fees)
Courtside seats: $25 (plus fees)
Arkansas State students: Free with valid ID

Fans can purchase tickets through Ticketmaster, the A-State Athletics app, or at the First National Bank Arena box office. Tickets are also available by phone at (870) 972-2781.

Parking for the game will be free.

Courtside Club access will be available for Fastbreak Club members, suite holders, and fans who purchase courtside seating. Additional details are expected ahead of game day.

Building Momentum

Arkansas State’s postseason berth reflects continued growth within the program under Rogers, who was recently named to a national coach of the year watch list.

With a home crowd behind them, the Red Wolves will look to carry that momentum into Monday night and make a push in postseason play.

Fans are encouraged to wear red and help create a strong home-court atmosphere as the Lady Red Wolves begin their WNIT run.
