Big Game Ticket Package Form

PHILADELPHIA - The La Salle men's basketball "Big Game" ticket package, which features games against Oklahoma State, Villanova and Saint Joseph's, is now on sale. Tickets are $60 for a gold seat and $50 for a blue seat, with faculty/staff receiving a $10 discount on each seat. The only way to guarantee a seat to the La Salle-Villanova game is by purchasing a full or partial season ticket plan.

The Explorers return three starters, including the reigning Big 5 Rookie of the Year Aaric Murray, to the court in 2010-11. Along with veterans Ruben Guillandeaux and Jerrell Williams, head coach Dr. John Giannini welcomes a talented group of newcomers.

Oklahoma State returns nine players, and three starters, from last year's NCAA Tournament team. The Cowboys, under former UMass head coach Travis Ford, visit the Palestra on December 4.

Villanova, a preseason top 10 team by numerous publications, will make a trip to Tom Gola Arena on Sunday, December 12. The Big 5 rival finished last season ranked #4 in the ESPN/USA Today coaches poll and return Wooden Award candidate Corey Fisher.

The annual Big 5 game versus Saint Joseph's is scheduled for Wednesday, January 26 at The Palestra. The Hawks welcome in a talented freshmen class to take on La Salle in one of the most historic rivalries on the Explorer schedule.
