Basketball fans will have a chance to pick out available seats for the 1997-98 Southeast Missouri State University season during a special "Pick Your Seats Night" Wednesday at the Show Me Center.

It will also be a chance to see the Indians in a 7 p.m. scrimmage.

The doors will open at 6 p.m., with available seats marked and available for season ticket purchase.
