HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. – Season tickets for the reigning Horizon League regular-season champion Northern Kentucky men's basketball team's 2018-19 campaign are now on sale. The Norse will host 17 regular-season home games, including a four-team tournament, at BB&T Arena this year.
 
Northern Kentucky offers five options for season tickets, ranging in price from $91 for youth (13-17 years old) to $177 for adults. NKU faculty and staff can purchase tickets for $159. Two options exist for alumni, with season tickets running $142 for first time alumni buyers and $106 for new alumni (2016-18 graduates).

Northern Kentucky hosts eight regular-season nonconference games, including last year's March Madness Cinderella UMBC and regional-foe Miami (Ohio). Fellow 2018 NIT participant UNC Asheville, Coastal Carolina and Manhattan join the Norse for a four-team round robin tournament at BB&T Arena in mid-November. NKU also hosts a full Horizon League slate, highlighted by a Jan. 11 Friday night primetime meeting with Wright State and Homecoming, set for Feb. 9 against Oakland.

Drew McDonald returns for his senior campaign after leading the Norse with 17.0 points and 9.6 rebounds per game last season, earning first team all-league and all-district distinctions to go along with his nod on the Lou Henson Mid-Major All-America Team. His 18 double-doubles were the 11^th-most in the nation. He's joined by juniors Dantez Walton and Tyler Sharpe, as well as Horizon League all-freshman and all-defensive honoree Jalen Tate.
