Whether you’ve followed the program for years or you’re planning your first game, Tennessee State Tigers Basketball tickets put you inside the action.
This page covers everything you need — from choosing the right seats at Gentry Center to knowing what to expect when you arrive on game day.
Tennessee State Tigers basketball is one of the most storied programs in HBCU basketball history. Competing as Tennessee A&I in the NAIA era, the Tigers won three consecutive NAIA national championships (1957, 1958, 1959) under legendary coach John McLendon. The program’s history also includes standout names such as Dick Barnett, Anthony Mason, and Leonard “Truck” Robinson.
In Nashville, the Tigers play at the Gentry Center (Howard C. Gentry Complex), a multi-purpose, on-campus arena that opened in 1980 and holds approximately 10,500 fans. It’s known as one of the larger on-campus arenas among HBCU programs, and the atmosphere is energized by the band-driven traditions that make Tennessee State game days stand out.
Tennessee State competes in the Ohio Valley Conference (OVC), and several matchups tend to draw extra attention — including games against Austin Peay, Tennessee Tech, and crosstown opponent Belmont from their shared OVC years, along with notable games versus other HBCU programs such as Jackson State. If there’s a specific rivalry game you’re targeting, browsing Tennessee State Tigers Basketball tickets early is the smartest move.
