The Iowa basketball teams will take the court tonight for fans for the first time this semester in the Black and Gold Blowout.

The event will be held in Carver-Hawkeye Arena beginning at 8 p.m. Doors will be open to the fans at 7 p.m.

Plenty of prizes will be handed out on a first-come, first-serve basis for fans who arrive early.

Among them are glow necklaces, season tickets, a basketball signed by both head coaches, as well as the opportunity to win $50,000.

The women’s team will partake in a 3-point contest, giving fans the chance to win T-shirts. The men’s team will have a slam-dunk contest, judged by former Iowa basketball players. Both teams will scrimmage for the fans, giving them their first taste of both squads.

There will also be performances by the Pep Band, Spirit Squads, and the Golden Girl. Fans will have the opportunity to get autographs following the event for a half-hour.

UI students and those who are 18 and under will get in free; general-admission tickets will be sold for $5.
