AUGUSTA, Ga. -
Augusta State and Montevallo meet for the third time this season --
and for the second time in the last 10 days -- when the Jaguars and
Falcons square off in Christenberry Fieldhouse Tuesday night in the
NCAA Southeast Regional Championship game at 7:00 p.m.
Tickets go on sale at the Christenberry Fieldhouse box office one
hour before tipoff at 6:00 p.m., Tuesday, and are also available
for purchase online until 4:00 p.m., Tuesday afternoon. Tickets
purchased online will be available at will call. There is no
advanced sale of tickets planned for Tuesday prior to the 6:00
p.m., opening of the box office. Tickets may also be purchased on

The ASU-Montevallo matchup marks the third consecutive season in
which the regional title game has featured an all-Peach Belt
Conference pairing. The Jags defeated Clayton State 89-72 in the
2008 regional championship and overwhelmed USC Aiken 85-57 last
March in the title game.
The winner advances to the Elite Eight in Springfield, Mass.,
slated for March 24, 25 and 27.
ASU advanced to the regional final with victories over No. 8 seed
Brevard (91-73) and No. 5 seed Anderson (100-70), while the Falcons
have gotten past both second-seeded Mount Olive and No. 6 seed USC
Aiken.
The Jags defeated Montevallo 61-40 on Feb. 13 in a
nationally-televised on contest on CBS College Sports Network,
while UM eliminated ASU from the Peach Belt Conference Tournament
with an 81-77 win over the Jags on March 6 in the USC Aiken
Convocation Center.

John Patrick (play-by-play) and Robert Thurman (color) will call
all the action as the Jags look to extend their home winning streak
to a school-record 31 games.
