Fans are asked to arrive early to watch the team receive their rings and see the unveiling of the 2023 Final Four banner and National Championship banner that will hang from the rafters of the PMAC.

“I’m excited about (the ceremony),” said Mulkey. “I’m probably more excited about it for those getting (a ring) for the first time. It’s just fun for me to see the emotions involved when they look at that ring and have great memories.”

The Tigers won their first National Championship in April 2023.
