LORETTO, Pa. – The Saint Francis men's basketball team will host a first round game in the CollegeInsiders.com Postseason Tournament (CIT) next Tuesday, March 17, at DeGol Arena at 7 p.m. The opponent will be determined at a later date.  
 
The Red Flash (16-15) will host its first postseason game since an NCAA Tournament play-in game in 1991, a 70-64 victory over Fordham.
 
"We're very excited to have the opportunity to play in March, and we'd like to thank our administration and the CIT for the chance to keep playing," head coach Rob Krimmel said. "It's a credit to our guys and their performance this season that we can give our seniors at least one more home game in their careers."
 
Saint Francis is coming off its first winning regular season in 10 years and owns victories over America East regular season champion Albany, Duquesne and Big Ten member Rutgers. The victory for the Flash over the Dukes is the first since 1990, and the Flash became the first Northeast Conference team to defeat a Big Ten team when it won at Rutgers on Dec. 20.
 
The Flash went on to a fifth-place finish in the NEC, its best in 10 years. The Flash defeated Mount St. Mary's in the NEC quarterfinals before falling at top-seeded St. Francis Brooklyn on Saturday. The Flash has reached the NEC semifinals in consecutive seasons for the first time in program history.
 
Tickets will cost $15 for the red seats, $10 for general admission and $5 for children. Saint Francis students will be admitted free of charge. Tickets will go on sale Wednesday morning at 9 a.m., and current season ticket holders have until noon on Friday to secure their regular seats.
