Tennessee State Tigers Men's Basketball Tickets

Founded in 1944 in Nashville, the Tennessee State Tigers men's basketball program blends history and momentum. The Tigers captured three straight NAIA national championships in 1957, 1958 and 1959, becoming the first HBCU to win a national basketball title. They have added Ohio Valley Conference tournament crowns in 1993, 1994 and 2026, and returned to the NCAA Tournament in 2026. Legends such as Hall of Fame coach John McLendon and sharpshooter Dick Barnett set the standard, with modern stars like Robert Covington carrying it forward.

Home games at the on campus Gentry Center pack in 9,100 fans on McLendon Court, where a lively student section, booming pep band and blue-and-white traditions turn close games electric. The arena's distinctive indoor track rings the upper bowl, amplifying the noise. Buy tickets from Vivid Seats to experience it live!
