Both Tompkins Cortland Community College basketball teams have qualified for the NJCAA postseason.

The women earned a return to the postseason as the #10 seed and will play at #7 Finger Lakes Community College Tuesday at 6 p.m. It is the second trip to the playoffs in the last three seasons for the Panthers, and will feature a matchup against a team they played twice during the regular season. The Panthers and Lakers split their games, with each winning on their home floor. The most recent game was a victory for the Finger Lakes on February 15 in a game that Cassie Doane, Tompkins Cortland's All-MSAC selection, missed due to injury.

The winner of Tuesday's game will advance to the quarterfinals of the women's tournament, which will be held Friday at Jefferson Community College.

The men, fresh off claiming a share of the Mid-State Athletic Conference championship for the second straight year, are the #4 seed and earned a bye in the first round of the Region 3 playoffs. The Panthers advance to the quarterfinals where they will play the winner of Tuesday's first-round game between #5 SUNY Adirondack and #12 Clinton Community College. The quarterfinal, semifinal, and final rounds are being held at Herkimer College on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

The Panthers finished the regular season with a Region 3 record of 17-5, including wins over both Adirondack and Clinton. Earlier this week, finished 12-2 in the MSAC, good for the sixth conference championship in program history, and second in the last two years. Javonte Long was voted the Mid-State Athletic Conference Player of the Year. He was joined on the Al-MSAC team by Marqiis Samuels and Kobe Nwosu.
