"The 2010 regular-season runner up - and massive overachiever -- must replace point guard Derek Glasser and center Eric Boateng. But Ty Abbott leads a solid returning core and Herb Sendek's system is well entrenched..."
--Bay Area News Group College Writer Jon Wilner, in talking about the Sun Devils in 2010-11.
Arizona State University athletics has announced pricing for the 2010-11 men's basketball season, which includes a reduction in the number of "price points" from nine to seven with seats in over half of Wells Fargo Arena available for $250 or less, and no price increases from 2009.
ASU is coming off a 22-11 season and is the only Pac-10 team to post 20 wins in each of the past three seasons. Herb Sendek was named the 2010 Pac-10 Coach of the Year, the first Sun Devil to earn the honor since 1981. He will enter his fifth year at ASU next season.
"Sun Devil Athletics is committed to this community. In these tough economic times, we want to make sure we are offering season ticket options that fit every budget." said Lisa Love, Vice President for University Athletics. "Similar to the simplified pricing we introduced earlier this year with our football season tickets, we have reduced the number of price points and increased the areas that do not require a Sun Devil Club Annual Fund Contribution."
Highlights of the new season ticket pricing structure include a simpler pricing model, no price increases over 2009, 54 percent of seats priced at $250 or less and 13 percent fewer seats requiring a Sun Devil Club Annual Fund contribution including three Court level sections.
