The selection show viewing party will take place on the top floor of the Mendenhall Center, beginning at 1:30 p.m., and is open to the public.
The Rebels claimed the conference tournament championship after besting San Diego State in a penalty kick shootout (4-3), securing the Mountain West's automatic bid for the 2016 NCAA postseason tournament. The Scarlet and Gray will be making its fourth NCAA appearance in program history after winning its first conference tournament title since 2006.
