NEWPORT NEWS, Va. - Put down the Thanksgiving leftovers and get ready for some college basketball! Five games in two days will be on the menu at the Freeman Center as you'll have the opportunity to watch the Christopher Newport University men's and women's squads host action on the home floor.

The Captains men's basketball team heads into play this weekend with a pair of home games in the CNU/Holiday Inn Invitational. The Captains, 3-2 on the season, take on Alvernia University Saturday and then top-ranked Randolph-Macon College Sunday. Both games will tip off at 4:00 p.m. 

The two-day tourney begins at 2:00 p.m. Saturday as the undefeated Yellow Jackets (5-0) take on the Gothic Knights of New Jersey City University (3-2). The Captains then host the Golden Wolves of Alvernia (4-2) with the tipoff set for 4:00 p.m.

Sunday features a triple-header as the action begins at 12 noon with Alvernia playing New Jersey City...followed by a CNU women's game as the undefeated Captains host Franklin and Marshall College at 2:00 p.m....and then the men's game between CNU and Randolph-Macon at 4:00 p.m.

John Krikorian's squad will look to bounce back following a road loss at the University of Lynchburg last Sunday, 83-66. Saturday's game with Alvernia, from Reading, Pa., will be the first ever of the programs, while the Captains are far more familiar with Randolph-Macon. The Sunday meeting will be the 30th all-time with R-MC, and the Yellow Jackets hold a 19-10 edge in the series. 

Tickets for the games this weekend will be available at the Freeman Center ticket office. Both CNU games will be broadcast live on the Christopher Newport/Pepsi Radio Network (Xtra 99.1 FM) with the pre-game show beginning 20 minutes prior to tipoff.
