Texas Tech men’s basketball sets record, sells out of season tickets for 2023-24 season

Texas Tech basketball fans seem excited about the Grant McCasland era to begin in United Supermarkets Arena.

Tech athletics announced Monday that men's basketball season tickets are officially sold out. In the process, a new record of season tickets were sold, topping out at 8,500 for the season. The previous record was 8,150 season tickets for both the 2021-22 and 2022-23 season.

The Red Raiders have zero officially-announced home games and just three confirmed opponents and five games finalized to this point.

"We truly have one of the greatest home-court advantages in the nation because of this loyal fanbase," McCasland said in the release. "Our players and staff are humbled and appreciative of all the support."
