On Monday, the USC women's basketball team won triumphantly against the No. 9 seed Mississippi State Bulldogs after star guard Juju Watkins suffered a devastating injury. The rest of the team, led by Kiki Iriafen, stepped up in her absence and showed that they are capable of shouldering the load, but the path to the Final Four just got a lot tougher for the Trojans.
On Saturday, USC will face off against No. 5 seed Kansas State in the Sweet 16 as they attempt to keep their National Title hopes alive. The winner of this contest will advance to the Spokane Region 4 Championship and take on the winner of No. 3 seed Oklahoma and No. 2 seed UConn.
All of the action for the region will take place at Spokane Arena in Spokane, Washington, which is a 12,000-seat, multi-purpose venue. Many of the Trojans' faithful are sure to be in attendance as buying tickets for the game will still be a relatively cheap endeavor.
How much does it cost to attend USC vs. Kansas State in the Sweet 16?
The get-in price for the NCAA Tournament Regional Semifinal between No. 1 USC and No. 5 Kansas State is $27, according to Ticketmaster. The most expensive seats are $240 per ticket, which would place you right at midcourt behind both benches in the lower bowl.
Tickets in the upper bowl are anywhere from $27 to around $100, depending on how close you are to halfcourt. In the lower bowl, tickets are anywhere from $58 to $240.
If you want tickets at halfcourt, the cheapest you'll find is between $77 and $106 in the upper bowl, whereas the lower bowl will cost around $240. For tickets in the corners or on the baseline, you can score some in the upper deck for between $27 and $93, but that price increases to around $135 for the lower deck.
Should USC take down the Kansas State Wildcats, the tickets would get more expensive in the Elite 8. But if the Trojans can keep taking steps toward another National Championship, then attendance might be worth its weight in gold.
