As of this week, approximately 9,100 season tickets have been sold, according to Paul Ladwig, Fresno State's associate athletic director in charge of broadcasting/external relations. That number does not include the 2,000 tickets set aside for students.
Internet sales of Fresno State men's basketball season tickets went on sale this weekend on the athletic department's Web site, www.gobulldogs.com.
Also, the athletic department added four mini-plan ticket packages - from three to 10 games.
"Each and every year you need to evaluate the ticket plans and pricing and we believe this year's pricing changes will have a positive effect on the number of tickets sold," Ladwig said.
NOTES FROM PRACTICE...
Senior Quinton Hosley missed Saturday morning's practice with flu-like symptoms. ... Junior Dwight O'Neil nursed a sore ankle. ... Backup point guard Tyson Parker isn't afraid to shoot. He penetrated to the rim several times during practice and attempted to finish over post players. ... Shawn Taylor is still trying learn defensive responsibilities; he does seem to have a strong grasp on shot blocking and dunking. ... Fans will enjoy watching Dominic McGuire in the open court.
