UMBC Retrievers Basketball Tickets

Kick off this semester with an exciting game of college hoops once you get UMBC Basketball tickets. The University of Maryland’s men’s basketball team has been playing on the courts for more than 40 years. Now, they are a member of the America East Conference and compete at the DI level. Before that, they were a highly successful team at the Division II level. The Retrievers saw their first NCAA Division II Tournament in 1979, where they advanced to the Elite Eight. Unfortunately, they lost to Cheyney in a very close match.

Just one year later, they advanced to the Regional Finals in the NCAA Division II Tournament, falling to Virginia Union. Aside from their enjoyed early success, the team has played decently since entering DI as well. Since 1999, UMBC managed to claim more than three Conference Regular Season Championships. College sports fans and alumni won’t want to pass up this opportunity at getting UMBC Basketball tickets while they’re still on sale. 2008 and 2018 were perhaps two of the strongest seasons for the Retrievers basketball team.

Not only did they claim the title as Conference Tournament Champions, but they also made NCAA Division I Tournament appearances. 2018 marked the first year the Retrievers advanced to the Round of 32 in the NCAA Division I Tournament. Other than the primary tournaments, UMBC has participated in several other postseason tournaments, such as the 2017 CIT, where they advanced to the semifinals. Perhaps one of the university’s most prominent rivals in Vermont. UMBC has spawned its fair share of NBA draft picks, such as Ricky Moreland of the Washington Bullets in 1983 and John Goedeke of the Atlanta Hawks in 1979.
