Pilots Host Sacramento State in CIT on Wednesday, March 18

March 16, 2015

1aPilots150The University of Portland men’s basketball team will host the Sacramento State Hornets in the opening round of the 2015 CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament (CIT) at the Chiles Center on Wednesday, March 18 at 7 p.m. This is the first postseason men’s basketball game hosted on the Portland campus in program history.

Tickets start at $5 for kids/students and $10 for adults and will be general admission open seating. They will go on sale Monday at 11 a.m. through all Ticketmaster outlets, online at www.TicketMaster.com, or in-person at the Pilot Box Office. Doors will open one hour prior to tip-off and Pregame Pasta Dinner will be available, as well as all regular Pilot Club activities.

The first 500 student tickets will be purchased by the University of Portland Athletic Department and be available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Students can swing by the Cove on Monday from 11 a.m. – 1 p.m. to pick up the tickets. Any remaining tickets will be available at the Pilot Box Office in the Chiles Center.

Wednesday’s game will be a rematch from earlier this season when the Pilots pulled out an 80-75 win at Sacramento State on Dec. 14. The Pilots secured a postseason bid after making a run to the West Coast Conference Championship semifinals with a 69-52 upset of Saint Mary’s. Portland was eliminated from the tournament with a loss to second-seeded BYU.

In its seventh year of existence, the CIT consists of a 32-team field made up of non-BCS programs that were not selected to the NCAA Tournament or the NIT (ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac 12 and SEC teams are not considered). All 31 games during the tournament are played on campus sites, with future round opponents determined by results of the previous round.
