Sacramento State Hornets Men's Basketball Tickets

From their first tip in 1948 in Sacramento, the Hornets have chased big moments, highlighted by the 1962 NCAA College Division national runner-up finish and multiple Far Western Conference titles under longtime coach Jack Heron. More recently, Mikh McKinney’s 2015 Big Sky Player of the Year season fueled the program’s first Division I postseason win in the CIT, and Dylan Garrity’s 75-foot buzzer beater versus Weber State still echoes around campus.

Home is now Hornet Pavilion, a 3,000-seat upgrade that triples the roar once packed into The Nest. The raucous student section, close sightlines, upgraded sound and lighting, and Causeway rivalry nights with UC Davis create a game-day scene that feels uniquely Sacramento and all kinds of loud.
