ANNAPOLIS, Md. -- Tickets for the Navy men's basketball team's Patriot League Tournament Quarterfinal game are now available at the Naval Academy Athletic Association ticket office by calling 1-800-US4-NAVY, at the Ricketts Hall ticket window or by visiting www.navysports.com (starting at midnight on Monday). Tickets will also be available for pre-sale before Wednesday's key Patriot League showdown at Alumni Hall against American, which tips off at 7:00 pm.

The quarterfinal game, versus an opponent to be determined, is scheduled for Wednesday, March 5 at 7:00 p.m. in Alumni Hall. Tickets are $12 for adults and $6 for youths and senior citizens. Navy last hosted a Patriot League Tournament game following the 2000-01 regular-season. At least one win in the final two games will guarantee Navy a Patriot League semifinal game should it advance past the quarterfinals.

The Mids are looking to nail down the top seed for the upcoming tournament and can do so with wins in their final two games. Navy is currently 15-12 overall and 8-4 in the Patriot League, one game behind American's 9-3 league record. Navy and American will square off on Wednesday night in Alumni Hall, beginning at 7:00 pm.
