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, Feb. 14, in Wittenberg's Pam Evans Smith Arena, and tickets are once again in demand.

Because Wittenberg officials anticipate another large and enthusiastic crowd – likely made larger by the Wittenberg's first-ever Take A Kid To The Game Day, organized by the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee – 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, while students are entitled to one ticket each. They can be picked up at the following times:

Monday, Feb. 9, Tuesday, Feb. 10, and Thursday, Feb. 12, at 11:30 a.m.–1:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m.–6 p.m.;
Wednesday, Feb. 11, at 11:30 a.m.–1:30 p.m. and 4 p.m.–7 p.m.

There will be no advance sales on Friday, Feb. 13. After Thursday, tickets can be purchased at a cost of $8 each. No complimentary tickets will be issued after Thursday.

In addition, Wittenberg cheerleaders are organizing a "Red-Out" with T-shirts available for purchase in the Benham-Pence Student Center all week at a cost of $7 per shirt.

Wittenberg is currently in a tie for fourth place in the NCAC, heading into a crucial game at league-leading Ohio Wesleyan on Wednesday, Feb. 11. The Tigers have won two straight to improve to 11-9 overall and 8-4 in the conference. Wooster is in a first-place tie with the Battling Bishops at 10-2 in conference play, heading into a home game Wednesday against sixth-place Denison.
