Rice Offering Holiday Three-Pack Tickets

HOUSTON, TEXAS (December 3, 2008) Rice University is offering a special ticket package for its final three home games of 2008. The specially-priced Holiday Three-Pack will give basketball fans an opportunity to see the Owls take on a pair of Big 12 members Oklahoma and Texas A&M as well as Ivy League-member Harvard.

The three-game endcourt package is $30 plus applicable handling fees. For more information, contact the Rice athletic ticket office at (713) 522-OWLS (6957) or visit the Rice ticket office website at www.riceowls.com.

The three dates for the Holiday Three-Pack are Dec. 17 for the Harvard game, Dec. 22 for Oklahoma and Dec. 31 for Texas A&M.

With 13 returning lettermen including four starters, Harvard has got off to a quick, 3-1 start to the 2008-09 season. Former Seton Hall and Michigan coach Tommy Amaker is in his second season coaching the Crimson.

Oklahoma returns Blake Griffin who was an All-Big 12 First-Team selection last season as a freshman. He was named the Phillips 66 Big 12 Men’s Basketball Player of the Week each of the first three weeks of the season.

Texas A&M advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament in 2008 and returns 14 lettermen off last year’s squad including senior guard Josh Carter who was an NABC All-District First-Team selection last season.

Rice is also in action this week playing host to UTSA on Thursday and Texas State on Saturday.
