Springfield, Ohio — The Wittenberg University Tigers and the College of Wooster Fighting Scots, two of most successful men's basketball programs in all of NCAA Division III, will renew their spirited North Coast Athletic Conference (NCAC) rivalry at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 23, in Wittenberg's Pam Evans Smith Arena, and tickets are once again in demand.
Because Wittenberg officials anticipate another large and enthusiastic crowd, it is necessary to make several changes to the Department of Athletics' standard ticket policy. All seating will be reserved, with no general admission for this game. Wittenberg faculty and staff members planning to attend the game must pick up tickets in advance by showing Wittenberg ID. Each faculty and staff member is entitled to two tickets, which can be picked up at the following times:
11:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 19
5-7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 20
11:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 21
After Thursday, tickets can be purchased at a cost of $8 each. No complimentary tickets will be issued after Thursday. UPDATE: The ticket office will open at 1 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 23, and will remain open throughout the day.
Heading into a key NCAC game at Wabash on Wednesday, Jan. 20, Wittenberg is riding an eight-game win streak and to improve to 13-2 overall and 5-1 in the conference, good for sole possession of second place.
