MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – Season tickets for West Virginia's 2003-04 basketball season will go on sale Wednesday, October 15, athletic director Ed Pastilong announced today.

The Mountaineers will play 13 games at the WVU Coliseum, including eight BIG EAST contests and seven weekend games. BIG EAST conference rivals Georgetown, Virginia Tech, Boston College, Seton Hall, St. John's, Villanova, Pitt and Syracuse, plus five additional non-conference teams, will all visit Morgantown this season.

The price of a season ticket is $195. It is a savings of $16 versus the cost of purchasing each ticket individually.
