Both the Iowa men’s and women’s basketball teams will give away bobblehead dolls over the university’s winter break.

The first Iowa Basketball Bobblehead night will take place Dec. 21, when the men host Louisiana Tech in their final nonconference tune-up at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. The first 3,000 fans through the gates will receive a Fran McCaffery bobblehead.

All fans will also be eligible to win another McCaffery bobblehead (2,000 winners), season tickets for next year’s men’s team (50 winners), $5 off purchases at the Iowa Hawk Shop (100 winners), or a ticket to an unidentified Iowa home event (all other fans).

Other bobblehead giveaways will take place Dec. 22, when the women take on Northern Iowa (Lisa Bluder dolls); Jan. 8, women against Ohio State (Kachine Alexander); Jan. 12, men against Northwestern (Jarryd Cole); and Feb. 10, women against Minnesota (Kelsey Cermak).
