The Red Raiders held a two-hour season ticket holder appreciation event on Thursday.
LUBBOCK, Texas – The Texas Tech men's basketball program welcomed over 300 of its season ticket holders to an appreciation event on Thursday at the United Supermarkets Arena.
The two-hour event gave season ticket holders the opportunity to see the progression of the new videoboard at the United Supermarkets Arena guided by Norense Odiase, Niem Stevenson and Matthew Temple. It also featured a behind the scenes tour of the player's lounge provided by Thomas Brandsma and Keenan Evans.
The event concluded with head coach Chris Beard addressing the crowd inside the practice gym about the importance of attendance. Graduate assistant coach and former Red Raider great Darryl Dora introduced the 2016-17 team, and fans also had the chance to view a player conditioning workout led by strength coach John Reilly.
More season tickets have already been sold for 2016-17 than all of last season. Fans are encouraged to purchase season tickets now to reserve the best available seats. Season tickets are on-sale and feature affordable payment plans along with a family four-pack of season tickets starting at $199 in designated general admission sections and reserved season tickets for as low as $199.
Season tickets can be purchased in person at the Texas Tech Athletics Ticket Office located on the East Side of Jones AT&T Stadium, online at www.TexasTech.com or over the phone at (806) 742-8324. Information on single-game tickets and mini-plans will be announced by the Texas Tech Athletics Ticket Office at a later date.
Texas Tech returns five players who started 10-plus games from last year's team which posted a 19-13 record and earned the program's first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2007 when Beard served as an assistant coach.
Texas Tech brings back its leading scorer (Aaron Ross – 12.5 PPG), leading rebounder (Zach Smith – 7.5 RPG) and leading assist man (Keenan Evans – 2.6 APG) from Big 12 play last season. The Red Raiders also return over 65 percent of their points, rebounds, assists, blocks and steals from 2015-16.
Texas Tech has added a pair of National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) All-Americans in Niem Stevenson and Shadell Millinghaus. The Red Raiders also have brought in two graduate transfers in Anthony Livingston, an All-Sun Belt performer at Arkansas State, along with Giovanni McLean who led Quinnipiac in scoring last season. Former four-star recruit Brandone Francis and Tommy Hamilton IV have transferred to Texas Tech and will sit out the 2016-17 season due to NCAA transfer rules.
