MEMPHIS, TN (WMC) - Vice President Mike Pence will not be coming to Memphis after all.

Memphis spokesman Kyle Veazey said Thursday that the city expected Pence to attend the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 games Friday.
Pence's wife Karen graduated from Butler University in Indianapolis, Indiana. The Butler Bulldogs are set to take on North Carolina on Friday in Memphis.
