LITTLE ROCK, Ark.—The NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Committee has selected The Jack Stephens Center, UALR, and the city of Little Rock as one of the 16 sites for the 2012 NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Championship first and second rounds. This will be the first time that Little Rock has served as a host site for the women’s tournament.“It gives me great pleasure to announce that yesterday the NCAA selected UALR, The Jack Stephens Center, and the Greater Little Rock area as a host for the 2012 NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Championship first and second rounds,” said Chris Peterson, Director of Athletics at UALR.
“First and foremost, we need to thank the Stephens Family, for without the philanthropic ways of Jack Stephens and the Stephens family, we would not have this opportunity,” added Peterson. “The Jack Stephens Center is the finest basketball facility of its size in the country. Because of that and the fact that the Greater Little Rock area proved itself as a host in 2008, we were selected.”
