Fans and former Racers are signing up to be part of RACERHOOPALOOZA (Aug. 15-16) as former head coach Mark Gottfried is honored at the Murray State men's basketball fundraiser.
Those who haven't committed to attending either the dinner and golf event, or both, are encouraged to sign up and be part of the celebration of the great tradition of Racer Basketball.
"We're very happy with the response RACERHOOPALOOZA has received," said Paul Bubb, MSU Associate AD for External Affairs. "Many of our former players and coaches are excited about it and looking forward to attending. We've still got two weeks before the event, so there is time for all fans and alumni to be a part of it."
RACERHOOPALOOZA, sponsored by CFSB, features a Thursday evening dinner (Aug. 15) at the CFSB Center and a "Toast" to former Racer coach Mark Gottfried, currently the head coach at North Carolina State. The dinner will feature Gottfried speaking about his days at Murray State after being introduced by four guest "Toasters". A social hour and silent auction of select Racer basketball memorabilia begins at 5:30 p.m. with dinner at 7 p.m. The program will take place after the buffet dinner.
On Friday (Aug. 16) the basketball team is hosting a scramble golf tournament at the Murray Country Club, with a shotgun start at 8 a.m. Foursomes will be assigned a fifth Racer celebrity to play with each group.
Dinner reservations are $65 per person or $490 for a table of eight. Golf scramble reservations are $65 per person or $235 for a foursome. Each foursome will have a fifth player, either a former coach or player, assigned to their team. Reservations may be made by stopping by the MSU Ticket Office in the CFSB Center, Monday – Friday, 7:30 a.m. – 4:00 p.m., or calling (270) 809-3000.
There is a growing list of former MSU players and coaches that are attending including Isaiah Canaan, former Racer and recent NBA draft pick by the Houston Rockets. Canaan has confirmed he will be able to attend the Friday golf event and luncheon.
Here is the current list of those former MSU players and coaches who have confirmed they will attend the dinner.
