Chicago, Ill. - The UIC Athletic Department announced on Friday evening that less than 400 tickets remain for Wednesday night's men's basketball showdown between UIC and #9 Butler at the UIC Pavilion. Tip-off is set for 7 p.m.

Fans can purchase $15 tickets over the weekend online at ticketmaster.com. Tickets are also available at the UIC Pavilion Box Office on Sunday between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m., including a limited number of Fifth Third Bank $2 `Pack the Pavilion' balcony tickets.

The Flames Athletics Ticket Office will resume regular business hours at 9 a.m. Monday morning. The ticket office can be reached by calling 312-413-UIC1.

UIC faculty and staff also still have the opportunity to purchase `Pack the Pavilion' tickets at the Student Center East and West service desks through the end of the day on Monday.

Should the remaining reserved seats in the lower level and balcony sell-out, the athletic department will release a limited amount of general admission or standing-room-only tickets to accommodate walk-up ticket purchases on Wednesday night.

The Flames, who boast an 11-1 home record this season, resume play on Saturday afternoon at Wright State.

Wednesday night's contest with Butler will mark the regular season home finale for the Flames. UIC will honor seniors Karl White Jr., Robert Bush, Jermaine Dailey and Ebenezer Noonoo prior to the start of the contest.
