With Ohio Valley Conference tournament seedings
riding on the outcomes, our men's and women's basketball teams return
to Eblen Center tomorrow, Feb. 28, to close the regular season against
perennial rival Morehead State.
In addition to the games, fans will be able to
celebrate the careers of five seniors, who will be honored during
the evening. For even more revelry, fans can attend the annual "Pregame
with the Eaglettes" dutch-treat luncheon tomorrow at 11 a.m.
at Golden Corral on Interstate Drive.
"The excitement at our home games this year,
particularly the OVC games, has given us an advantage as the season
progressed," says interim Athletics Director Frank Harrell.
Athletics will be honoring basketball fans for
their support of the teams this year with drawings throughout the
night for gifts and prizes. One lucky student will win a prize to
pay his or her maintenance fees for 2004-05, valued up to $3,750.
Another student will win a prize to cover fees for one semester,
valued up to $1,875.
"We could not have done this without the
generous contributions of many supporters, such as Goody's and Dr.
Gail Fields," says Harrell. "Every prize we have shared
this season has come from supporters of Tech athletics."
Goody's is sponsoring the games that evening and
fans will have the opportunity to win "Goody" packs and
prizes from the clothing retailer.
All ticket holders will have the opportunity to
enter drawings for prizes that will include season tickets to Golden
Eagle football during the 2004 season and for Tech basketball during
the 2004-05 seasons.
Tech student groups will have one last opportunity
to win the $250 Spirit Prize, being awarded by Danny Brooks and
Tom Morris of Freedom Outlets.
Tickets for the contests are available at the
Eblen Center Ticket Office. In addition, Tech fans can purchase
tickets to the OVC first round, which will be hosted by Tech at
Eblen Center on Tuesday, March 2.
If you plan to attend tomorrow morning's Eaglette
pregame luncheon, call 3922 so the team can provide the restaurant
with an accurate count of expected attendance.
Tomorrow night's doubleheader opens with Golden
Eaglette action at 5:30, with the men's game beginning at 7:30.
Call Athletics at 3940 for more information.
