DANBURY, Conn. -- The season isn't over yet, as the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) announced on Monday afternoon that the Allegheny College men's basketball team qualified for the 2023 ECAC Division III Men's Basketball Championship.

The sixth-seeded Gators (19-9) will travel to Pittsburgh on Wednesday, March 1, for their first-round matchup against No. 3 Carnegie Mellon University (15-10) inside the Tartans' Weigand Gymnasium. Tip-off is set for 7:00 p.m.

ECAC Championship semifinals and finals will be held on the campus of Alfred University in Alfred, New York, on Saturday, March 4, and Sunday, March 5. Click here to view the full seven-team bracket.

Allegheny, which will compete in an ECAC Championship for the first in program history, makes its first postseason appearance beyond a conference tournament since the 1998-99 campaign. That year, the Gators received an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament as the North Coast Athletic Conference (NCAC) runner-up.

CMU, a member of the ultra-competitive University Athletic Association (UAA), went 15-10 overall and was tied for fourth in the conference standings with a 7-7 record. The Tartans boast three wins over nationally-ranked opponents in Emory University (No.16/No. 24) and then-No. 22 Washington University in St. Louis. Carnegie Mellon also went 2-1 against Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) teams this winter.

The Gators enter the ECAC tournament after an incredible run to the PAC title game. Allegheny punched its ticket to the conference finals with wins over Saint Vincent College and Thiel College in the first two rounds. As the No. 2 seed, the Gators hosted the PAC championship in front of a capacity crowd inside the David V. Wise Center on Saturday but ultimately fell to Chatham University in a close contest, 76-73.
