WILMORE, Ky. -- Point Park University men's basketball goes to Asbury (Ky.) University for the River States Conference Men's Basketball Championship Quarterfinals on Wednesday, Feb. 24. Tipoff is 7:30 p.m. ET in Wilmore, Ky.

It's the first meeting of the year between the Pioneers (7-8) and Eagles (15-5). Point Park received a bye into the quarterfinals during last week's randomized tournament pairings. Asbury is coming off an 87-77 win at Ohio Christian in the first round on Monday night. That victory earned the Eagles, who are 10-3 at home, a home game in the quarterfinals.
