Men’s Basketball | 10/26/2021 3:00:00 PM
The Murray State men’s and women’s basketball seasons get underway with Racer Mania Thursday presented by The Murray Bank at the CFSB Center in Murray, Ky.
The free admission event is an annual first look at both MSU teams. The doors to the arena open at 6 p.m. and the show begins at 6:30 p.m. Kids are encouraged to attend in their Halloween costumes where they can enter Gate-B of the arena and receive candy from several Racer student-athletes representing their sport and wearing their game uniforms.
Racer Mania features introductions of both teams, 3-point and dunk contests and a scrimmage. Fans will enjoy performances from Murray State’s spirit groups and mascot, Dunker, as well as other interactions between teams. Due to Covid protocols, there will be no in-person autograph session this year. However, a signed schedule poster will be available for the first 1,000 fans when they enter the arena.
Children age 12 and under have the chance to join the Taylor Family Dental Junior Racer Kids Club during Racer Mania. Membership is $10 per child. If you have already signed up, membership t-shirts and cards can be picked up.
