WEST POINT, N.Y. – With guaranteed finishes in the top four of the conference “the March to Madness” will begin at Christl Arena as the Army men’s and women’s basketball will serve as hosts for their respective Patriot League Tournament Quarterfinal games. Neither team has a determined opponent yet, but the Black Knight men (15-13, 8-5 PL) will play Wednesday night and the women (21-7, 10-3 PL) are scheduled for Thursday evening. Tipoff times have yet to be announced. Tickets for both games are now available for purchase.
For tickets, visit www.goARMYsports.com or call 1-877-TIX-ARMY. Fans can also stop by the ticket office at its new location at Gate 3 of Michie Stadium during its regular business hours (Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m.). The Holleder Center ticket office, located just outside Christl Arena, opens for sales 90 minutes prior to home contests.
The Army men enter Saturday’s regular-season finale with a chance to finish as high as second in the league. A win at Lehigh coupled with a Lafayette loss versus American would create a three-way tie among the Black Knights, Leopards and Mountain Hawks. Army would take the No. 2 seed thanks to what would be a 3-1 record versus those two opponents.
The Army women are alone in second place heading into Saturday’s regular-season finale against Lehigh and still have a chance to score the top seed with a win over the Mountain Hawks accompanied by a Navy loss at Bucknell. The Black Knights have a three-game lead over third-place Holy Cross and American (7-6), as Army can finish no lower than second. The Black Knights could face any of three opponents; Bucknell and Lafayette are in a tie for sixth place with identical 4-9 records, while Colgate is in eighth with a 3-10 mark. Army swept the Bison and Leopards and split the season series with the Raiders.
