On March 13, the Patriot League Championship returned to Hamilton for the first time in 23 years. Colgate Men's Basketball defeated Bucknell and extended its win streak to the longest in program history, punching a ticket to the dance. The Raiders learned of their spot on the bracket during last night's Selection Show in front of a packed community watch party at Cotterell Court.
Colgate advances to the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament as a 15-seed and faces 2-seed Tennessee in the First Round hosted at Nationwide Arena on Friday in Columbus, OH. Colgate plays the second game of the afternoon session, which begins with Cincinnati-Iowa at 12:15 p.m. ET. Colgate-Tennessee tips off 30 minutes after the conclusion of Game One, or at approximately 2:45 p.m. Make the trip to join us in Columbus, attend a regional viewing party, or catch the action on CBS.Â
