subject: At&t Center Tickets - Don't Mess With Texas Sports! [print this page] It's been said that everything is bigger in Texas, and this adage certainly holds true for the month of January when it comes to Texas sporting events and, in particular, the state's great pastime of basketball.
Texas hoops bring some of the liveliest matches and rivalries to the state this January as the NBA's San Antonio Spurs drive the action, and NCAA teams are heating up the scene, as well, turning the Lone Star State into a basketball-crazed nation this winter.
San Antonio is at the epicenter of the basketball excitement this season as the Spurs are off to a great start in the Southwest division of the Western Conference, and with Tim Duncan blazing a path and Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili and Richard Jefferson close behind, this Spurs team is expected to do great things this season.
Basketball fans with AT&T Center tickets to the Spurs game on Jan. 10, 2010 will get to witness Duncan in action as he leads his red-hot NBA team into a rendezvous with the New Jersey Nets, and the Nets' league-high losing streak to start the season should give the Spurs the chance to really shine at home in this matchup against Brook Lopez, Chris Douglas-Roberts and the rest of the Nets.
The San Antonio/New Jersey game is sure to attract all kinds of basketball fans to the AT&T Center for this battle of East vs. West in mid-January, but Spurs lovers who miss the Jan. 10 game can catch their beloved team in action again on Jan. 12, this time when San Antonio takes on the tough Los Angeles Lakers at home. Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol, Andrew Bynum and Ron Artest are making magic happen on the hardwood this season for the Lakers, but Tim Duncan and the Spurs have the opportunity to stop L.A. from NBA domination when the two teams face each other at the AT&T Center.
While the Spurs heat up the state of Texas this winter, pro basketball isn't the only thing sending a shock wave through the South. The University of Texas Longhorns are off to a momentous start this basketball season, as well, and one of the hottest games of the entire year will commence Jan. 16, when the Longhorns battle Big 12 rivals the Texas A&M Aggies on home turf at the Frank Erwin Events Center.
This deep-rooted rivalry between the Longhorns and Aggies will explode as the regular season matchup between the two Texas teams gets underway, and the upcoming matchup at Frank Erwin is sure to be one of the best games of the entire season, especially as Damion James continues to be a monster with rebounds for the Longhorns and Dexter Pittman complements by posting consistent high scores for Texas. The Big 12 matchup will be complete with Donald Sloan putting points in the net for the Aggies, and this is undoubtedly the college game of the season to watch for both Longhorns and Aggies fans.
No matter whether you bleed black and silver for the Spurs, orange and white for the Longhorns or even maroon and white for the Aggies, you'll find the best in courtside entertainment when you get basketball tickets from StubHub. It's the most wonderful time of the year for Texas basketball fans, and both Austin and San Antonio are thriving with action this winter.
