MEMPHIS, Tenn. - Postseason play is just around the corner for the Tigers, and we want to thank you for your continued support of Tiger Basketball this season. It has been an exciting and fun-filled season. In order to keep you updated about the postseason possibilities for the Tigers, the following plans have been established:

NCAA Tournament
More specific information will follow on Sunday. Please be advised all NCAA information will be emailed from the Tiger Scholarship Fund Office and also posted on the Athletics Department's main webpage, www.gotigersgo.com. If you are a member of the Tiger Scholarship Fund, you will have priority for securing tickets for any games the Tigers play in the NCAA Tournament. Below is a projection on availability of tickets per giving level for the First/Second Round:

Site & Date TBA - TSF will only have 300 tickets to sell

If the Tigers play close to home, Platinum and a limited number of Gold Tigers will have the opportunity to purchase two tickets through the Tiger Scholarship Fund. The further the Tigers travel from Memphis, the greater the number of TSF donor levels will be able to be accommodated for tickets through the Tiger Scholarship Fund. Ticket requests/orders may be made at the following times on Monday, Mar. 15 by calling the TSF Office at (901) 678-2334.

Ambassadors: will be contacted by Lish Trice for orders
Platinum Tigers: 8-10am
Gold Tigers: 10am-12pm
Scholarship & Super Tigers: 1-3pm
All TSF donors: 3-5pm

NIT
There are four possible dates that scheduling allows the Tigers to play a game in the NIT at FedExForum. The dates are Mar. 17, 18, 22 or 23. We will not know if the Tigers have been selected to play at home or the dates of NIT games until early Monday morning (Mar. 15). Prices for any games played at home have been set at $22 for Plaza seating, $17 for Club seating and $12 for Terrace seating.

In order to prepare for this and to make ticket reservations easier and more convenient for you, we have posted an on-line order application for Mar. 17-18 for your tickets at www.gotigersgo.com. If the Tigers advance and play at home on Mar. 22-23, applications for these dates will be posted in your online ticket account. Should this occur, you will be sent another email. You can access your applications by clicking here.

When you access the site you must sign-in. If you have previously registered, you can sign in by entering your customer number, password and clicking the "Sign-In" button. If you have not registered, you can click the "Register Now" button and use the PIN 9876.You may then proceed to reserve your tickets for either or both dates. Your credit card will only be charged for the dates you select if the Tigers play at home - you can reserve tickets for Mar. 17 or Mar. 18 or both. Payment is deferred and your credit card will be charged only if the Tigers play at home on the dates you choose. The deadline to reserve your tickets for either date is Monday, Mar. 15 at 5:00 p.m. (CT).

Current University of Memphis students may purchase one reserved student ticket for the games for $7.00. To purchase a student ticket, students must show their current UofM ID and purchase the ticket at the Tiger Ticket Office as soon as games and dates are announced.

Order quantities may not be changed. If you would like to change the quantity or request a change in seating, please give the Tiger Ticket Office a call at (901) 678-2331 on Monday, and the staff will be happy to assist you. Should there be a problem with either of your applications, you can call the Tiger Ticket Office for assistance. Current club box seat season ticket holders will not be able to retain current seating for any NIT games, and the best available seating will be assigned to these individuals.

Women's Basketball
Any information pertaining to post season play for the women's basketball team will be posted on www.gotigersgo.com as soon as it is available.

We hope you will choose to follow the Tiger basketball teams in whatever challenges the postseason offers. Go Tigers!
