Want to go to March Madness? Here’s how much attending Friday’s NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 matchup between the Texas Longhorns and Xavier Musketeers costs.
We’ve reached the Sweet 16 of March Madness this year, and the bar has been set high for the second day of the third round to live up to the hype.
On Thursday night Gonzaga and UCLA turned in another instant classic, while Florida Atlantic continued its Cinderella run through the tournament. The Owls upended Tennessee and earned an Elite Eight date with Kansas State after the Wildcats eeked past Michigan State in an overtime thriller.
All of that is to say, the teams playing on Friday night have a lot to live up to.
Texas and Xavier seem up to the task, though. Both teams play a high-tempo game that should be an up-and-down affair all night. It’s another No. 2 vs. No. 3 seed matchup as well, the same as Gonzaga-UCLA, so the precedent has been set for Xavier to advance even if it’s the lower seed coming into the game.
The action on Thursday night is also a potential indicator that fans should think about grabbing some last-minute tickets to tonight’s Sweet 16 action, as there’s no better way to spend a Friday night in March than indulging in a little madness.
March Madness 2023: Texas vs. Xavier Sweet 16 ticket prices
If you want to see one of the top teams in the nation playing in the Sweet 16, you can still find some pretty decent bargains.
TickPick has tickets for Texas vs. Xavier for under $100, which will get you into the upper bowl of the T-Mobile Center. Fans who want a little closer look to the court can spend a bit more and get lower-level baseline tickets for about $113 — all of that is without fees since TickPick doesn’t play those games.
The seating capacity of the T-Mobile Center for basketball games is 18,972. But don’t wait on grabbing your tickets if going to some Friday Sweet 16 action is on your last-minute agenda. Sellouts are expected for all the games at the T-Mobile Center this weekend, as are the tournament games in other venues.
