The first promotional night takes place Thursday when the men's and women's basketball teams host St. John Fisher College in a pair of Empire 8 contests. Fans can participate in a halftime "Shots Away for 10K*" contest (see official rules here). The doubleheader will also serve as Ithaca's Faculty and Staff Appreciation Night (with free admission, free pizza, and free beverages for IC faculty and staff), and there will be live music provided by DJ Washburn. The men tip-off at 6 p.m., followed by the women at 8 p.m.
During the Bombers' home basketball doubleheader vs. Empire 8 foe Houghton College on Feb. 12, the department is holding a "Senior Night in the Hill" event for members of the senior class on campus. All seniors who arrive and register for the event at the senior table inside the Ben Light Gymnasium before the end of halftime of the 6 p.m. men's game will receive free food courtesy of Buffalo Wild Wings. There will be a special senior section, giveaways during the games, raffles, a halftime knockout contest, and music from DJ Washburn. The men tip-off at 6 p.m., followed by the women at 8 p.m.
The #ShedTheRed campaign will once again take place during the Feb. 17 Senior Night wrestling match against Cortland, scheduled for a 7 p.m. start.
