DURANT, Okla. – Southeastern athletics is excited to host Choctaw Nation Night Out Feb. 22 beginning at 5:30 p.m. in conjunction with the Savage Storm basketball doubleheader against Ouachita Baptist in Bloomer Sullivan Arena.
 
Any tribal citizen/Choctaw nation/casino employee with a valid tribal ID, work ID, or CDIB card will receive free admission for them and their family to the game that night.
 
To redeem tickets, they will need to present their ID at the ticket booth outside of the Arena.
 
SE is slated to honor and recognize various Choctaw citizens and groups throughout the night, while the Storm basketball teams will be wearing their commemorative KUCHA OKPULO jerseys.
 
Southeastern will also honor the language of the Choctaw Nation and will be recognizing the First Language Speakers during halftime of the women's basketball game that night.
