This weekend the Mustang women’s and men’s basketball teams play their final home games of the season. I am super excited, yet a little sad that the season is coming to an end. At Friday’s game, the theme is Country Western and there are always some pretty creative outfits to check out. Then, for Saturday’s game, the theme of the night is Pink Zone. This night is dedicated to raising awareness for breast cancer and there are all sorts of activities going on in support. My favorite event happens during half time of the men’s game. Around eight volunteers, who most are students at SMSU, sit on the court as another person cuts off their hair to later donate. It is a great event and is fun to see the sea of pink (the crowd) cheer on the individuals.
Even though this weekend is our last home games of the season, the teams still have a few road contests. Next Saturday, the Mustangs will take on Minnesota State Mankato and since our school has such dedicated fans, we are taking a fan bus to the game. Earlier in the season we took one to Augustana which was deemed a success. I am always excited to road trip, especially if it supports the Mustangs!!!
The women’s team is currently 5-18 while the men’s team sits at 14-9. Play-offs here we come! GO MUSTANGS!!!
