CSU Bakersfield Roadrunners Men's Basketball Tickets

Born in 1971 in Bakersfield, California, the CSU Bakersfield Roadrunners men's basketball program blends blue-collar grit with proven pedigree. The Runners captured three NCAA Division II national championships in 1993, 1994, and 1997, then announced themselves in Division I by winning the 2016 WAC Tournament and reaching the NCAA Tournament, followed by a 2017 NIT semifinal run.
