INDIANAPOLIS—In the normal course of security checks at Cox Arena this morning, a suspicious package was identified. NCAA officials and law enforcement authorities agreed to evacuate the building. The building was evacuated, and the package was examined by law enforcement. The all-clear has been given by law enforcement, and the games will continue with a revised schedule to be determined shortly. We will continue to remain vigilant in our security planning throughout our tournament, and the safety and security of our student-athletes, teams and fans is paramount.
