In years past, the Bradley basketball teams showcased their talents during the preseason at a scrimmage held on-campus, most recently at Renaissance Coliseum. That is no longer the case.
Starting this season, both the men’s and women’s basketball preseason scrimmages will move downtown and become the Red-White River Jam.
Scheduled to tip-off tonight at 5:30 p.m., the Red-White River Jam will feature music, food and three-point shooting contests involving members of the Red Sea.
featured food vendors who will offer food at the event include Famous Dave’s and Qdoba, both can be purchased using “Bradley Bucks.” Bradley Bucks can also be used to enter prize drawings for various basketball ticket packages and Bradley merchandise.
At 6:30 p.m., the teams will be introduced and a three-point shooting and dunk contest will begin.
Both head coaches, Geno Ford and Michael Brooks, will take the stage around 7:15 p.m. to talk about their respective teams’ upcoming seasons.
A live performance by 90’s Daughter begins at 7:30 p.m. and both men’s and women’s basketball players will be signing autographs.
The men’s 2014-2015 season kicks off at 7 p.m. Nov. 6 with an exhibition game versus Augustana at Carver Arena. The women’s team opens its season with an exhibition game one day later at 7 p.m. Nov. 7 against Eureka.
