A new era in the men's and women's basketball programs at Murray State will officially begin as the teams are unveiled for the first time in 2003 at 'Fan Jam' on Thursday, Oct. 30, at 6 p.m. at the Regional Special Events Center.
'Fan Jam' will include player and coach introductions and live scrimmages featuring the 2003-04 Racers and Lady Racers, and one lucky MSU student will have a chance at receiving free tuition for a semester by hitting a half-court shot.
Following the scrimmages, the MSU men's and women's players and coaches will be available for an autograph session with the fans, and free 2003-04 MSU schedule posters will be available for everyone.
"We're excited to get the season under way," said MSU men's basketball head coach Mick Cronin. "We're lucky to have some of the best fans in the nation at Murray State, and we're looking forward to spending some time with them at Fan Jam."
Both Cronin and MSU women's basketball head coach Joi Williams arrive in Murray following successful stints as assistant coaches at some of the top programs in the country.
"It's always an exciting time when a new season begins," Williams said. "Fan Jam is our season-opening event, and we really urge our fans to come out and have fun with us on Thursday night."
Admission is free and fans are urged to arrive early for all of the fun of 'Fan Jam' at MSU. For more information, call (270) 762-6800.
