An update on the availability of season tickets for the 2009-10 Fresno State men's basketball team:

Team spokesman Stephen Trembley says season tickets to the Save Mart Center's upper bowl are on sale for $189 each. Call 278-DOGS (3647) or go to gobulldogs.com.

You must call the Bulldog Foundation (244-5600) if you're interested in lower bowl season tickets. My guess is a season ticket in that prime location requires a BDF membership.

Trembley says he doesn't have up-to-date season-ticket sales numbers for men's basketball. "The figure is changing every day," he says.

Coach Steve Cleveland and former Bulldogs coach Boyd Grant are scheduled to hold a news conference at 11 a.m. Tuesday at the Save Mart Center. Among other things, they'll talk about the Bulldogs' Dec. 1 non-conference game against Pacific at Selland Arena. Selland was nicknamed Grant's Tomb back when Boyd was in charge of the program.

The news conference might turn into a bit of imaginative marketing for a team with plenty of potential. I like seeing Fresno State take the risk.
