CINCINNATI – Xavier Athletics' annual Musketeer Madness event, presented by Wing Eyecare, is coming up on Saturday, October 22 at Cintas Center.
Wing Eyecare is a new presenting sponsor for the tip-off event, which is a chance for fans to get a first-look at the men's and women's basketball teams as the Musketeers gear up for the 2016-17 hoops season.
Â
The event is FREE to the public and features a Fan Fest on the plaza in front of Cintas Center, starting at 4:30 p.m.
As part of Fan Fest, both the men's and women's basketball teams will be signing autographs from 4:30-5:15 p.m. Other activities on the Cintas Center plaza will include inflatable games for kids, corn hole, and more!
Â
The madness will continue inside Cintas Center at 6:00 p.m. as both basketball teams will be introduced to the fans. Introductions will be followed by team competitions.
In between team introductions, three students will be randomly selected to take a half-court shot for a chance to win FREE books next semester, courtesy of the Xavier University All For One Shop. To be eligible to be selected, students should check in to the event on the X-Pulse App.
The Xavier pep band, cheerleaders and dance team will also be on hand to help kick off the season – which coincides with XU's annual Family Weekend.
Â
The first 1,500 fans and 500 students in attendance will receive an exclusive Musketeer Madness presented by Wing Eyecare t-shirt.
The first 500 Xavier students will again be extra-close to the excitement. The first five rows on the east and west sides of the arena will be reserved for students. Ticket information for students will be sent via email.
Â
The 2016-17 "X-Shirt" will be available for purchase for $20 on the concourse near the Xavier University All For One Shop inside Cintas Center.
During Musketeer Madness ONLY, Xavier students with valid ALL Cards can purchase the 2016-17 X-Shirt for a $4 discount.
This year a portion of each sale will be donated to Upspring, a non-profit located in Cincinnati. Upspring's mission is to empower children experiencing homelessness by providing opportunities for education and enrichment. To learn more about Upspring, visit www.upspring.org.
