WEST LIBERTY, W.Va. – Game times have been set and ticket plans are in place for this weekend’s NCAA Division II Men’s Basketball Atlantic Regional tournament at West Liberty University.

   The 8-team event tips off on Saturday with afternoon and evening quarterfinal sessions at the University’s Academic, Sports and Recreation Complex (ASRC).   Saturday’s afternoon session begins at noon with a Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference matchup between No. 3 seed Indiana, Pa. (24-5) – the PSAC Tournament champion – and No. 6 seed East Stroudsburg (22-6). No. 2 seed Winston-Salem State, N.C. (21-6) out of the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association meets No. 7 seed Slippery Rock, Pa.

(16-13), which upset its way to the CIAA Tournament title. Quarterfinal action concludes with an 8:30 p.m. tilt between No. 4 seed Fairmont State (22-8) – the WVIAC’s regular-season and tournament runner-up – and No. 5 seed Livingstone, N.C. (22-6) out of the CIAA.   Saturday’s winners will return to the ASRC for regional semifinal action Sunday at 5 and 7:30 p.m. After an off day on Monday, the regional championship game is set for a 7 p.m. tipoff on Tuesday.   Tickets for each session are priced at $12 for adults and $6 for students with IDs.

Cash transactions only will be accepted.   A limited number of single-session tickets for Saturday’s quarterfinal round will go on sale Tuesday at noon at TJ’s Sports Garden and Restaurant on National Road in Wheeling and the Main Street Bank outlets in Wheeling and Elm Grove.    The Atlantic Region champion advances to the NCAA Division II Elite Eight in Louisville, Ky. on March 29-30.
