Erickson follows Love’s lead, buys NIT tickets for ASU students
From Staff Reports
Will the next magnanimous Arizona State athletic department member please step forward?
In what is turning into a game of one-upsmanship, ASU football coach Dennis Erickson took a page from athletic director Lisa Love’s book Wednesday and purchased 200 tickets for ASU’s second round game against Southern Illinois Thursday in the National Invitation Tournament.
Earlier this week, Love bought 200 tickets for students for the Sun Devils’ first-round win over Alabama State Tuesday.
As was the case with Love’s purchase, the tickets Erickson bought are available at the box office for students to pick up, free of charge.
One hundred tickets are set aside for Sun Devil Club members and 100 are reserved for any other student on a first-come, first served basis.
The game tips off at 9 p.m. and will be televised on ESPN or ESPN2.
For all others, tickets are $15 for lower level seats and $10 for upper level seats. Student tickets are $5 each.
