While the men's basketball team and 200-plus students were in Spokane, Washington, for the first round of the NCAA tournament, fans at home gathered at Global Credit Union Arena for the first of two Lopes Nation Watch Parties. Fans watched GCU vs. Saint Mary's on the big screen and enjoyed concessions, sponsor giveaways and free T-shirts. And members of the Thundering Heard Pep Band, Dance and Cheer were on hand, too.
