Seniors saw the lowest percentage of fulfilled ticket requests in the lottery for this year’s WVU Men’s Basketball matchup against the University of Pittsburgh, with 12.5% of requests fulfilled.
This reporting uses data obtained from Michael Honeywell, associate athletics director for ticket operations, showing the number of tickets requested and issued per grade for this year’s Backyard Brawl.
A total of 2,961 student tickets were distributed for the game. Normally, a maximum of 2,300 tickets are distributed, but 661 tickets were added “given student demand and availability in adjacent sections,” according to Honeywell.
In total, 5,857 students requested tickets for the Brawl. Of those students, 2,088 were freshmen, 1,300 were sophomores, 1,062 were juniors, 1,124 were seniors and 283 were graduate students.
Sophomores saw the highest percentage of requests fulfilled, with 69.1% of ticketing requests fulfilled, accounting for 898 students.
Freshmen saw the highest number of requests fulfilled at 1,354 tickets, representing 64.8% of the tickets requested.
WVU Men’s Basketball’s ticketing policy is a loyalty-based lottery based on a student seniority. Students begin the season with a designated amount of loyalty points and have the ability to earn or lose points, depending on their attendance at games. A student’s loyalty points dictate how many entries they receive in the ticketing lottery.
If a student has zero loyalty points, they receive one entry in the lottery. If they have 10, they receive 11 entries into the lottery.
Graduate students and seniors begin each season with five points, juniors with three, sophomores with two and freshmen with one.
Twenty percent of loyalty points from the previous season carry over, thus increasing the likelihood of older students receiving tickets, according to section 3.5 of the basketball ticketing policy.
Loyalty points are earned based on “attendance at home basketball games, which is tracked via handheld scanners at the student entrance at the Hope Coliseum,” according to WVU’s Student Tickets website.
If a student requests and is granted a ticket, but does not attend or return the ticket before tipoff, they lose two loyalty points.
Of the students who received tickets, the average loyalty point total was 2.4, while the average of those who did not receive tickets was 2.5.
“Again, when a lottery is implemented, loyalty points pertain to probability and are not a guarantee that a student will receive a ticket,” Honeywell said in an email to The Daily Athenaeum.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Consistency paid off for one man from Hackett, Arkansas, who won $550,000 in the Nov. 4 Natural State Jackpot (NSJ) drawing.
The winning jackpot numbers were 10, 17, 18, 26, and 27. The Hackett resident claimed his prize at the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery (ASL) Claim Center on Nov. 7, according to ASL officials.
Being a daily lottery player, the Hackett resident bought the winning Quick Pick ticket at Hugs and Biscuits, located at 101 S. Main St. in Hackett.
Previously, he had won big on other games like Cash 3 and Cash 4, but he still had his sights set on NSJ’s $550,000 jackpot.
“If diligence will win you the jackpot, he’s got it,” the winner’s wife told lottery officials.
After the drawing, the Hackett man scanned his ticket and was told to visit the ASL Claim Center to collect his prize.
He knew immediately he had hit the jackpot, since NSJ’s second-tier prize of $300 could be collected at the average lottery retailer.
“I thought, ‘No, no… really? Oh my!” the winner said.
He rushed to share the news with his wife, asking if she wanted to take a trip to Little Rock with him. Not aware of his big win, she declined, saying she had an appointment scheduled for that afternoon. She immediately changed her mind when he sent her a photo of the winning ticket.
“Now is not the time to be playing games,” she said. “Are you being serious right now?”
Skepticism turned into elation once she realized that he had indeed won the $550,000 jackpot, and together, the pair made their way to the ASL Claim Center.
The Hackett resident plans to save some of his winnings.
The jackpot for Thursday’s NSJ drawing is $90,000.

To play, select five numbers from 1 to 69 for the white balls, then select one number from 1 to 26 for the red Powerball.

Richards contributed six points (3-5 FG, 0-2 FT), seven rebounds and one assist over nine minutes during Wednesday’s 123-114 victory over Dallas.
With Mark Williams (ankle/rest) out against the Pacers on Thursday, Richards should see an expanded role in the frontcourt. He could be the starting center, though a potential timeshare with Oso Ighodaro and Khaman Maluach will limit Richards’ upside.
