Springfield, Ohio — The Wittenberg University Tigers and the College of Wooster Fighting Scots, two of the most successful men's basketball programs in NCAA Division III history, will renew their spirited North Coast Athletic Conference (NCAC) rivalry at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 11, in Wittenberg's Pam Evans Smith Arena. Once again, tickets are 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, staff and students 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 between 12-2 p.m. or 5-7 p.m. on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, Feb. 8, 9 and 10, in Legends Lobby of the HPER Center. Students are entitled to one ticket each, which will be available in Legends Lobby or in the Center Dining Room in the Benham-Pence Student Center.

During the pre-sale, additional tickets may be purchased for $8 apiece. This pre-sale is also open to the general public. On game day, tickets will go on sale at 4 p.m. Wooster fans will have the opportunity to purchase tickets in Sections 2 and 4, starting at that time.

Heading into a key NCAC game at Wabash on Wednesday, Feb. 8, Wittenberg has won 12 of its last 13 games to improve to 17-4 overall and 11-1 in the conference, good for a two-game lead over the defending champion Scots. Wooster comes into the week with records of 18-3 overall and 9-3 in conference play, heading into a road game Wednesday at third-place Ohio Wesleyan.
