Halloween HOOP-la -- Saturday, October 29
3:30 p.m. (6 p.m. kickoff time)

Watch Haloween HOOP-La Live via NUsports.com All-Access

Come out and meet the 2005-06 men's and women's basketball teams at Halloween HOOP-la. Award-winning columnist for The Washington Post, co-host of ESPN's "Pardon The Interruption" and Northwestern alum Michael Wilbon will host the event!

Doors open at 3 p.m., so you can come early to watch the end of the men's basketball practice. Then watch Vedran Vukusic, Michael Jenkins, and the rest of the men's team fly around the court in an intense scrimmage. The event also will include candy, contests, face painting for the football game, and a behind-the-scenes look at the Wildcat basketball teams.

The first fans to enter the arena will receive a purple rally towel compliments of LaSalle Bank, and the first 1,000 students also will receive a coupon for a FREE Chipotle burrito. At the conclusion of the event, students can pick up their Wildside t-shirts for the season.

Halloween HOOP-la will conclude around 4:30 p.m., just in time for fans to enter the football stadium for the game or head to Wildcat Alley or the student tailgate. The men's and women's basketball teams will also be at the arena to sign autographs after the event.

Admission is free for everyone! The event also will be broadcast live on NUsports.com as part of the All-Access package.
