Men's Basketball
Win and You're In: The five-game promotion rewards Bears fans for team victories and for creating an energetic opening-night atmosphere. All fans who purchase a single-game ticket for the Nov. 3 season opener vs. Lincoln University will receive free admission for the following game vs. Truman State on Nov. 6 with a Bears victory. If the Bears continue to win through their first four home games - including subsequent games vs. Newman (Nov. 10) and Abilene Christian (Nov. 16) -- the deal culminates with free admission to the Drake game on Nov. 21! For each participant, failure to attend a game during the run also terminates the offer for subsequent games during the special.
