In anticipation of the Marquette men's basketball team's potential participation in the 2014 National Invitation Tournament, the MU Ticket Office is preparing for sales to begin Monday, March 17 at Noon CT.
Due to the fact MU is hosting the NCAA tournament (March 20-22), any home games awarded to the Golden Eagles in the opening two rounds of the NIT would be played on campus at the Al McGuire Center. First round dates are March 18-19 and MU could also welcome a visiting team for second-round action on Friday, March 21 or Sunday, March 23.
Following the NIT bracket announcement on Sunday night, season ticket holders will receive an email from the athletics department, detailing the process for ordering tickets. Season ticket holders will have the first opportunity to purchase tickets and will be limited to two tickets per account. The time in which they are able to purchase will be determined by their current priority point total. Specific account information and on-sale times will be included in the email.
The 32-team field will be announced Sunday night at 7:30 p.m. CT on ESPNU.
The process for the NIT will be similar to the one used for single-game ticket sales utilized in October.
