The 2018-19 season saw the Oregon women's basketball team fill up Matthew Knight Arena at a record rate. The program drew 7,148 fans per night in 17 home games last season to lead the Pac-12 in attendance and set the school's record by about 2,500 fans from the previous record during the previous season. Based upon recent season ticket sales, those program watermarks won't last very long.

On Tuesday afternoon, the university (through a Kelly Graves tweet) announced they'd sold north of 6,000 tickets for this upcoming season's alotted home basketball contests. That number doesn't appear to be slowing any, as a source told DuckTerritory.com that the entirety of MKA's lower bowl had been sold following Graves' initial tweet.

With over 6,000 season tickets sold, the Ducks are all but guaranteed to surpass last year's number. They may even double last year's season ticket number, which had also acted as a venue and program-high. Last year the Ducks sold 3,555 tickets. That was more than double the 2017-18 season when they sold 1,583, and far greater than Graves' first season in 2014-15 when they sold just 809 tickets.

“I think it’s a testament to the great talent on our team," Oregon coach Kelly Graves said in early February. "No question about it. But they play hard. They play well together. They play with passion. They’re fun. They’re accessible. They stay after every game and sign autographs and take pictures with people.

“I think in women’s basketball, that’s what sells. People like that. They want that 1-on-1 and feeling that this is my team, and I think our players have connected."

The Sabrina Ionescu factor cannot be ignored either. The reigning Wooden Award winner and two-time Pac-12 Player of the Year has decided to return for her fourth and final season in Eugene. She's joined by what is widely considered the best collection of talent in the nation entering the 2019-20 season.

Season ticket sales began on July 1 following renewals. In theory, the program would sell as many season tickets as possible, while reserving the normal student ticket allottment and space for select general admission tickets. Capacity at Matthew Knight Arena is 12,500.

Even with the growing season ticket sales, the Ducks still trail South Carolina for the nation's most prolific season ticket base. The Gamecocks reportedly have more than 10,000 seaton ticket holders.

Reserved season tickets range from $119-to-$209. Tickets can be purchased here.
