From past experience, it helps if you add some seating suggestions when you apply for season tix. It seems they often put you in the same seats if your points are not that much different than the year before. But if you make some non-crazy suggestion like prefer lower seat in a corner section over a higher seat in a middle section, you tend to do better.
I used to request a specific upper corner section at XL that happened to be positioned closer to the court than some of the side 200 sections due to how it hung out over the arena.
Just be careful how you word it though. One year I requested to be placed in a side section compared to an end or corner section. They interpreted that as exactly half-court and placed us exactly in the middle but almost against the wall. There were fans from the opposing teams that sat a lot closer to the court than we did. I was not happy! I simply wanted to be in a side section compared to a corner or end. Suggesting a specific section # or two seemed to get us the best results as long as we didn't ask for a section that was far from what our points total dictated.
Now I sit with someone who has a lot more points than I have accrued and am in the lower section about 7 rows up from the floor. Unfortunately, that's the only way to get really good seats if you haven't accrued a lot of points and/or don't have a lot of disposable income to contribute to the University.
Now I know the first idea doesn't help you this year, but try it out next year and see what happens. Note that the company that has taken over this process has changed since I use to write in specific instructions, so there's not guarantee it will improve your seating. It's worth a try though.
