Midnite Madness Week Culminates Friday

WILMINGTON, North Carolina – The clock will strike midnight – err, 9:30 p.m. – late Friday as a full week of promotions and activities to signal the start of the 2017-18 basketball season at UNCW culminates with "Midnight Madness" at Trask Coliseum.

Friday's festivities begin with the annual Trask Trek at 7:45 p.m. followed by a Fan Jam on the Hoggard Hall lawn sponsored by UNCW's Association for Campus Entertainment (ACE) at 8 p.m. The doors to Trask Coliseum open at 9 p.m., with the annual celebration kicking off at 9:30 p.m.

Midnite Madness is free to everyone and will feature games for UNCW students, performances by the UNCW Dance Team, UNCW Cheerleaders and UNCW Pep Band, along with introductions of the men's and women's teams. Sammy C. Hawk will also be there, of course.

A three-point shooting contest involving members of both the men's and women's squads and a slam dunk contest is also planned as the countdown to the regular season begins in earnest.
