Pac-12 Date Windows Set For Men?s Hoops
CORVALLIS, Ore. – It will be a Civil War battle at Gill Coliseum to open the 2015-16 Pac-12 schedule for Wayne Tinkle and the Oregon State men’s basketball team, the Pac-12 Conference announced this week.
The Beavers will open the conference slate with three home games -- Oregon, Stanford and California -- before hitting the road to play Utah in Salt Lake City and Colorado in Boulder. UCLA, USC, Washington State and Washington will also visit Gill Coliseum during the 2015-16 season.
Oregon State is coming off a season in which it set a school record for its best start at Gill Coliseum (14-0) and the most home wins in a single season (15). The Beavers defeated No. 7 Arizona for their first win over a top-10 team in 15 years, and knocked off Arizona, UCLA and Washington in the same season for the first time since 1990.
The averaged attendance for men’s basketball at Gill Coliseum was 5,612, a 42.2 percent increase from the previous season, and the average attendance for Pac-12 games was 6,988, an increase of 47.8 percent. Both average increases were the highest in the Pac-12. The ticket base grew by 1,000 new season tickets through the “Commit2Wayne” campaign and saw the highest attendance by Oregon State students in more than 10 years.
For only a $25 deposit fans can secure a place in line to grab new season tickets by visiting beavertickets.com or calling 800-GO-BEAVS. For returning ticket holders, season tickets will be $249 as part of the "Committ2Wayne" plan and all new season tickets will be $349. Renewal information for current season ticket holders will be sent out in July.
