The WVU men’s basketball team has accepted a bid to the Roman College Basketball Invitational (CBI). The Mountaineers will host Grand Canyon in a first-round game on Wednesday, March 20 at the WVU Coliseum. Tipoff is slated for 7 p.m.
 
Grand Canyon, a member of the Western Athletic Conference (WAC), has a 20-13 record after falling in the WAC Championship on Saturday as the No. 3 seed to New Mexico State. Grand Canyon is coached by Dan Majerle.  
 
General admission tickets are now on sale for $10 each by visiting WVUGAME.com. Fans are encouraged to select the Print-At-Home or Mobile Delivery option. All 100 level sections of the WVU Coliseum will be considered general admission for Wednesday’s game. The upper level will not be opened until the lower level sections are filled. 
 
WVU students will be admitted free with a valid student ID at the Mountaineer Gate. Students should use the normal lower level student sections.
 
Mountaineer Athletic Club (MAC) members at the Directors Club level and above may request reserved seat tickets for $10 in sections C1-C6 and C12 of the WVU Coliseum beginning at 9 a.m. Monday by calling the Mountaineer Ticket Office at 1-800-WVU GAME. Eligible MAC members can request reserved seats until 5 p.m. Monday.
 
Should the number of requests exceed the number of available reserved seat tickets, requests will be allocated based on MAC annual giving level and priority points. Any MAC member who does not receive a reserved seat ticket will receive a general admission ticket. MAC members requesting reserved seats will be notified of the status of their order Monday evening. 
 
If any reserved seat tickets remain at the conclusion of the priority request process, they will be made available to all fans at 9 a.m. Tuesday.
Parking in the WVU Coliseum lots for Wednesday’s game will be free for all fans. Fans are encouraged to park in the WVU Coliseum lots. There will not be a shuttle from the Green Lot on Van Voorhis Road. The PRT will be running until 10:15 p.m. on game days. 
 
There will be no live television for Wednesday’s game. The game will be livestreamed at WVUsports.com, and the radio broadcast will be available on the normal Mountaineer Sports Network from Learfield IMG College affiliates. 
 
Should West Virginia advance, information for the next game will be announced when it becomes available.
