LOGAN, Utah – Utah State men's basketball earned the Mountain West's automatic bid to the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament following its run in the MW Championship as it defeated seventh-seeded New Mexico 91-83 in the quarterfinals, third-seeded Fresno State 85-60 in the semifinals and fourth-seeded San Diego State 64-57 in the championship game.
Utah State will learn its seed, opponent and regional site Sunday afternoon as it is making its 21st NCAA Tournament appearance all-time, including its ninth since 2000.
Utah State Athletics will begin taking ticket requests for the upcoming NCAA Tournament on Sunday, March 17, at 5 p.m. (MT). Orders will be taken in-person at the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum Ticket Office, over the phone by calling 1-888-USTATE-1, or online at UtahStateAggies.com. The USU Ticket Office will be open on Sunday, March 17, from 5-7:30 p.m., and on Monday, March 18, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Fans will then be notified Monday evening if their ticket request has been fulfilled.
Due to a limited number of tickets made available by the NCAA to participating schools, USU Athletics can't guarantee your request. Up to four tickets will be allocated to each customer. Priority will be given to Leadership Circle and Blue A Society members. All requests will be based off of Aggies Unlimited priority points.
- Available tickets are $100 per seat depending on location.
- The limit is four (4) tickets per account.
- The tickets requested must be for the account holder only (no "third-party" will-call).
- All tickets must be picked up from the tournament site in person with a valid photo ID (more information will be given to purchasers when location is confirmed).
- If Utah State advances to the second round, fans who purchase tickets automatically will be charged for the second-round tickets.
