FORT WORTH, Texas – With a conference record of 13-7, the Rams grabbed the third seed in the Red River Conference post-season basketball tournament, and will face #6 Huston-Tillotson College on Saturday, March 8th at 7:30 PM in the Sid Richardson Gymnasium.

Huston-Tillotson finished the season with a 12-19 record, and went 10-10 in conference play. They split two meetings with Wesleyan this year, losing 81-70 on January 18th in Fort Worth, and winning 106-97 in Austin on February 22nd.

The Rams (21-11, 13-7), who have been ranked as high as 23rd in the country this season, have their sights set on an appearance in the NAIA national tournament in Kansas City, Kansas later this month, but will need to advance to the conference tournament final to receive a bid. If they defeat Huston-Tillotson, they will play the winner of #2 Jarvis Christian vs. #7 Bacone in the semi-final round. The Rams have split the season series with both teams this year, winning on the road and losing at home both times. A win the semi-finals will likely set the stage for a rematch with the top-ranked team in the country, Houston Baptist University.

All Ram games this post-season will be broadcast through the Teamline Broadcasting Service, and will be free of charge to listeners. To listen to a game, call 1-800-846-4700, or click on the Teamline link in the upper right-hand corner of the Wesleyan athletic website homepage.
