Texas basketball sets record for season ticket sales

Texas basketball breaks season ticket record ahead of the 2021-22 season. Chris Beard is building something special.

This buzz around the Texas basketball program this year is real.

First-year head coach Chris Beard was the shot in the arm the Texas fan base needed. Just days before the season opener, the program is already reaching new heights.

The previous all-time season ticket record was just below 9,000 seats. On Nov. 5, Texas basketball surpassed that mark, announcing they sold the most season tickets in program history for the 2021-22 season.

It has been a rough stretch for Texas basketball, to say the least. With not having an NCAA tournament win since 2014, Texas fans are desperate for a winner.

Beard set a promise that his squad would be competitive from day one. To do so, he brought in one of the top transfer classes in the country. It includes five double-digit scorers from a year ago.

  • G Marcus Carr, Minnesota, 19.4 ppg
  • F Tre Mitchell, UMass, 18.8 ppg
  • G/F Timmy Allen, Utah, 17.2 ppg
  • F Dylan Disu, Vanderbilt, 15.0 ppg
  • F Christan Bishop, Creighton, 11.0 ppg

Along with key returners Andrew Jones, Courtney Ramey, Jase Febres and Brock Cunningham, this team has a great mix of talent and veteran leadership.

Texas will begin their season at home on Nov. 9 against Houston Baptist. It is the final year the Horns will play at the Erwin Center before moving into the brand new Moody Center next season.

Oklahoma basketball selling season tickets, still planning on 25 percent capacity

With the season just over two weeks away, Oklahoma has announced they are selling a limited number of season ticket plans.

Oklahoma basketball tips off in just over two weeks when the Sooners host UTSA at the Lloyd Noble Center.

With the season nearing, it was announced today that a limited number of season tickets would be sold to fans. The tickets will range anywhere from $270 to $575 per seat.

It was announced a couple of weeks ago that Oklahoma was planning on a 25 percent fan capacity at games this season, and that was reinforced today as still being the plan going forward – although it is always subject to change.

Some notable home games for the Sooners this season include SEC teams Florida and Alabama, as well as the entire Big 12 conference as per usual.

The selling of season ticket plans, albeit in a limited fashion, is a good sign for college basketball fans hoping for the season to begin on its scheduled November 25th.

With now every power five college football conference in action, college basketball seems ready to join the party in a matter of a couple of weeks.
