Students can pick up lottery tickets to win postseason men's basketball tickets this week from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the UConn Athletics Ticket Office by Gampel Pavilion.

Winning numbers for men's basketball Big East Tournament tickets will be posted Feb. 28 on the Athletic Ticket Office windows. Winning students can buy up to two tickets with a UConn ID on March 1.

Lottery numbers for NCAA Tournament tickets will be posted March 12. Winners can buy up to two tickets the next day.

The UConn men are ranked No. 9 in Big East standings, occupying the same slot they did this time last year.

"Last year we were ranked ninth in the Big East and we had to fight our way through five games in five days to win the tournament," said Matt Kearney, a 4th-semester molecular and cell biology major. "It's déjà vu."

Women's basketball postseason tickets will be on sale Feb. 29. There are 20 tickets available on a first-come, first-served basis.

The UConn women are ranked No. 2 in Big East play and, according to both the Associated Press and ESPN rankings, No. 4 in NCAA play.
