"This is a very exciting time for everyone here at West Point," Director of Athletics Boo Corrigan said. "It is great to see our teams performing so well over the course of a season to earn the home games in the conference tournaments. They have all worked hard to earn this opportunity and I encourage the community to come out and support our Cadets." The men's basketball team earned the No. 4 seed in the Patriot League Tournament after winning five of its final six games to end the regular season.
