Purchase Tickets Here
The Southland Conference basketball tournament will once again be returning to the Merrell Center in Katy, Texas and you can be part of the action to help cheer on the Bearkats in their bid to punch a ticket to the "Big Dance."
Purchase your SLC Tournament ticket booklet for $75 online at SHSU Ticket Office or by calling 936-294-1729. Tournament booklets include tickets to all sessions of the Men's and Women's Basketball Tournaments. Don't hesitate because there are a limited number of booklets available in the SHSU cheering section and with the demand for tickets at an all-time high, you do not want to miss out on your chance to see the Bearkats play for a conference championship and a spot in the NCAA Tournament.
Make sure you purchase your SLC Tournament tickets through the SHSU Ticket Office to ensure that you will be cheering for your Bearkats in the SHSU section of the Merrell Center with all the other fans clad in orange and white.
Tickets will be allocated based on a priority system and availability.
The women's tournament will get started on March 9 and the men will follow the next day. There will be four games each day the first three days of the tournament. The women's championship game will be Friday, March 12. The men's championship game will be Saturday, March 13.
The men will be looking for their first trip back to the NCAA Tournament since 2003 and the SHSU women are searching for their first bid to the NCAA postseason.
