Seattle University will play three basketball games – two men’s and one women’s – at the ShoWare Center in Kent this season.

On Wednesday, Nov. 25, at 7 p.m. the men will take on the University of Great Falls (Montana). On Thursday, Dec. 3, the women will host the University of Denver at 7 p.m. The men will take the court against Northwest Indian College (Bellingham) at 7 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 17.

Tickets cost $10 for general admission, $25 for reserved baseline and $35 for a ticket including dinner. Tickets for senior citizens ages 62 and up and students are $5, while those in the sixth grade and below get in free. Tickets can be purchased at the ShoWare Center box office or at showarecenter.com.

Steve Turcotte, organizer of the games, said the ShoWare College Classic, which is sponsored by Olympic Eagle Distributing, gives basketball fans in the south Puget Sound area a chance to watch NCAA Division I basketball close to home.

“The south end of the Puget Sound is a pretty big basketball hot spot,” Turcotte said.

Seattle University has played one basketball game at the ShoWare Center each season for the past four years, but this is the first year for multiple games at the venue and a women’s game.
