EVANSTON, Ill. - Wildcat Basketball season is just around the corner and both the men's and women's programs are looking to make a big impact this year. Fans are invited to come to SPAC on Friday, Oct. 15 at 5:30 p.m. to check out the teams at the inaugural Friday Night Hoops. Meet the team, hear from the coaches, watch the players scrimmage, judge the dunk contest and be a part of the action. The event is free and open to the public.
Later that evening in Welsh-Ryan Arena, A&O Productions proudly presents Snoop Dogg & Kid Cudi for the A&O Blowout 2010. Tickets go on sale online for $15 for Northwestern undergraduates this Friday, Oct. 1 at 10:30 a.m. on the Norris Box Office online system. Tickets will go on sale Monday, Oct. 4 for graduate students, faculty, and staff for $20.
Shuttles to the A&O Fall Blowout will be picking up right outside of SPAC, so students with a ticket will be able to head straight over to the show after Friday Night Hoops. Plus, students with a ticket to the concert can win floor seats at Friday Night Hoops and free pizza will be served at SPAC (while supplies last).
Again, the event at SPAC is free and open to the public, but people must have a ticket to the Snoop concert and a WildCARD to board the shuttles to Welsh-Ryan Arena afterward.
Both the Northwestern men's and women's teams are coming off postseason appearances last season, with the women advancing to the third round of the WNIT while the men participated in the NIT for the second straight year. Each squad returns four starters from a year ago.
The Wildcat women host UW-Platteville in an exhibition game Oct. 31, while the men welcome Robert Morris (Ill.) for a tune-up contest Nov. 4.
