White Out Planned For Saturday Game

PROVO -- BYU Athletics is hoping to WHITE OUT the Marriott Center on Saturday for the BYU men's basketball game against nationally ranked Air Force and is encouraging all Cougar fans to wear white to the game.

BYU is also offering a special ticket promotion to the 4 p.m. game against the Mountain West Conference's top team. Fans can purchase tickets anywhere in the Marriott Center at a reduced price. Upper bench tickets are available for $1 in advance and $3 at the door. Upper chair reserved tickets, normally $12, will be just $5 while lower chair reserved tickets, normally $18, are available for $10.

"Our goal is to pack the Marriott Center by providing our fans the opportunity to come and watch a very good and exciting BYU basketball team," said BYU marketing director Emily Deans. "This is a very important conference game against an excellent Air Force team, and we want to have a large crowd to cheer on our team."

The Cougars are tied for the nation's second-longest active home winning streak, having won their last 26 games in the Marriott Center including a 76-71 victory over the Falcons last season.

"We appreciate the support our fans have given us this season," said BYU head coach Dave Rose. "The fans are a big reason why the Marriott Center is such a great place to play, and we hope they will come out and enjoy a great game on Saturday."
