Free Admission, Event Highlighted by $500 Half-Court Shot & Student Moneyball Shooting Competition

“We invite friends, fans, and alumni to join us for a fun evening with men’s and women’s basketball programs,� said Vice President & Director of Athletics Dr. Andrew T. Goodrich.

The event schedule is highlighted by a half-court shot for a $500 prize, in which one lucky fan in attendance will be selected and take one shot to win the prize, and a student Moneyball Shooting Competition, in which teams of three students will compete for the title.

The teams will also hold a skills competition, three-point shooting contest, and dunk contest for fans in attendance. Head coaches Scott Merritt and Tim Craft will address the crowd, as the Runnin’ Bulldogs officially tipoff the 2023-2024 season.

A returning component to this year’s event is a highly anticipated five-on-five faculty and staff scrimmage, which will feature several favorite faces from around campus.

New for this season, the event schedule will feature a Tiktok dance contest, in which participants will have 30 seconds to show off their moves for prizes and bragging rights.
