History[]

Exterior view, November 2011

The first men's basketball game played in Fant-Ewing was on December 1, 1971, against Sam Houston State, who defeated ULM 71–70. The Bearkats' Mike Newell made the first free throw of a two-shot foul with no time left on the clock to the disappointment of an opening night capacity crowd.

It has hosted the Southland Conference men's basketball tournament five times and the Atlantic Sun Conference men's basketball tournament three times.

During the 2006–07 season, a student-only section was created, named the "Hawk's Nest".
