Murray State Racer basketball fans can begin the countdown to the 2004-05 season soon, as season tickets become available beginning Oct. 15.
Season ticket holders can begin to pick up their season tickets on that date, and single-game tickets will also be available on that date as well. Season ticket holders have until Oct. 29 to pick up their season tickets for the coming season.
With prices as low as $75 for season ticket packages, Racer fans need to reserve their season tickets before it is too late. The MSU ticket office accepts payment plans such as VISA, MasterCard and Discover.
With 28 wins, an Ohio Valley Conference championship and an NCAA Tournament appearance in just his first year as a head coach, Racer head coach Mick Cronin has the OVC and the rest of the college basketball nation buzzing. With last year's team living up to the slogan "Catch us if you can," the 2004-05 team intends to build on this year's motto, "Let's get it started!"
Some important dates to remember while making plans to watch the Racers this year are:
*Oct. 15: Season ticket holders can begin to pick up their season tickets; single-game tickets can also be sold for the first time on this date.
*Oct. 29: Deadling for season ticket holders to renew their season tickets.
*Nov. 6: Racers' opening exhibition game at home against VASDA.
*Nov. 20: Racers' regular-season opener against SIU-Edwardsville.
*Dec. 4: Racers take on regional rival Western Kentucky in the RSEC.
*Jan. 6: The Racers' first home OVC game against Morehead State.
