The Fairleigh Dickinson (FDU) men’s basketball team will host Saint Francis University (SFU) in a quarterfinal game of the 2016 NEC Tournament on Wednesday, March 2 at Stratis Arena inside the Rothman Center. General admission is $10 per person with court-side seating available for $25 per person and reserved seating for $15 per person. General admission pricing for college students and children is $5. Tickets can be purchased in advance by contacting Sean Morrison via (201) 692-9552. Advance sale begins Tuesday, March 1 at 9 a.m. and continues through Wednesday, March 2 at 3 p.m. Remaining tickets can be purchased at the door beginning one hour prior to tip-off. The doors to Stratis Arena will open one hour before the scheduled start of the game.

FDU and SFU have played twice in the season with the Knights winning both meetings.

“Our guys truly deserve the position that they are in as the #2 seed in our conference tournament,” said head coach Greg Herenda. “They have committed themselves all season long and obviously this last weekend showed what kind of heart and grit they possess for such a young group.”

“We have so much respect for Saint Francis. They have three great seniors and are very well-coached. Just like every game in the league this year, I think every tournament game will be up for grabs and will be highly competitive,” said Herenda. “We are all 0-0, and nothing would surprise me. We are very excited and honored to be in the position that we are in.”
