CLARKSVILLE  - The 2012 Ohio Valley Conference Basketball Championship is coming up and tickets are on sale through the Austin Peay State University ticket office.

The OVC Basketball Championship returns to Nashville's Municipal Auditorium for the second consecutive year with its four-day, 14-game event, beginning Feb. 29 through March 3. This will be the seventh time Municipal has hosted the event.

Beginning this year, the OVC is implementing the "Quadrant Seating System" for all men's games. Quadrant seating divides the floor and sideline mezzanine sections into to four sections and divides the tickets among the four schools playing in that session.

Austin Peay fans are encouraged to purchase tickets through the APSU ticket office by contacting Sharon Silva at 931.221.7761.

Single-session tickets will be available only through Ticketmaster.com and Municipal Auditorium.
