SEATTLE (Jan. 10) -- Two teams with lengthy win streaks will collide Saturday night when Seattle Pacific University hosts Western Washington in high-stakes midseason men's basketball game at Brougham Pavilion.

Less than 100 reserved seats remain but there are still over 900 general admission tickets available for the 7 o'clock tip. Pavilion ticket windows will open at 6 p.m. Saturday.

SPU and Western are currently tied atop the Great Northwest Athletic Conference standings at 4-0 and each program has claimed conference and regional crowns en route to NCAA Division II Final Four appearances the past two seasons.

"It's a huge game for both teams because we're tied for first and more than likely we'll both be fighting for an NCAA tournament berth in another month or so," said SPU Coach Ken Bone.

"Western Washington is strong at all positions and a high-powered scoring team, and we're probably best on the defensive end of the floor at this point in the season," said Bone. "They've always been good, close games and I don't expect anything less this time around."

For the Falcons (12-1), who have reeled off 12 consecutive wins to attain a No. 10 national ranking, this presents perhaps the biggest test of the season to date, although they defeated then No. 8 Henderson State (Ar.) just before Christmas. The school record for consecutive victories is 14, set in 1965-66.

Meanwhile, the Vikings (10-3) bring a 15-game conference winning skein south. They ended a four-year drought in the series by sweeping SPU last season. Western has won nine of its last 10 games overall, with the sole loss by one point to top-ranked Northeastern State (Ok.) last month.

The two teams will meet again in Bellingham Feb. 16.
