MURFREESBORO - The Middle Tennessee athletic marketing and promotions office has announced the basketball promotional schedule for the next two months. Blue Raider fans will be treated to a number of fun and family friendly promotions over the remainder of the schedule, which includes great Sun Belt Conference action.

The promotional schedule is highlighted by the following upcoming events with additional fun-filled activities for all remaining games.

The promotions begin Saturday when the Blue Raider women take on Florida Atlantic at 2 p.m. The game will be the annual Honor Roll Day with the Blue Raiders. All Rutherford County school children (K-8) who made the Honor Roll will receive one complimentary ticket to the game.

Activities will continue January 28 during the men's basketball game against New Orleans at 7 p.m. It will mark the fifth annual Mardi Gras night and fans are encouraged to come dressed in their best Mardi Gras attire and catch beads and candy during the Mardi Gras parade at halftime. Also, the Middle Tennessee football team, fresh off its 10-3 season capped by a win in the New Orleans Bowl, will be on-hand for a special halftime celebration.

Two nights later, Jan. 30, will be the first It's Hoop and Hollar for a Dollar when the Blue Raider women face off against North Texas at 2 p.m. Another Hoop and Hollar for a Dollar night will take place Feb. 13, as the MT men's squad welcomes Houston Baptist at 7 p.m. to the Murphy Center. Tickets for both games will be on sale for only $1.

A special Wild, Wild West night will be held Feb. 11 when the Blue Raider men play host to Denver at 7 p.m.. Fans are invited to come dressed in their favorite western gear - cowboy hats and boots - and receive tickets for just $5.

The last highlighted event of the basketball calendar will be Feb. 21 when the Middle Tennessee women's team faces South Alabama at 2 p.m. In addition to it being Senior Day, it also marks the annual WBCA Pink Zone game for breast cancer awareness. The first 500 fans will receive a pink t-shirt and all are encouraged to dress in pink to support the cause.
