Basketball Postponed until Sunday; Attend for a Good Time and to Support a Good Cause
— By Scott Puryear of OPSU Sports on 01/29/2010
Goodwell, Okla. — Two big basketball games that were set for Saturday have been postponed to Sunday due to the weather. Join us Sunday afternoon in the Oklahoma Panhandle State gym when the men’s and women’s teams from the University of Texas-Permian Basin come to town. The Lady Aggies will tip off at 2:00 p.m. and the men’s game will begin 1/2 hour after the conclusion of the women’s contest (at approximately 4:30).
The games will be open to the public at no charge thanks to the sponsorship of Panhandle Printing.
It will also be a special afternoon in observance of “Coaches vs. Cancer Suits and Sneakers Awareness Weekend” — a collaborative initiative of the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) and the American Cancer Society. Members of the OPSU coaching staff will wear sneakers instead of dress shoes with their usual game attire during the games to demonstrate their support for the American Cancer Society.
According to the American Cancer Society, in 1998 the Coaches vs. Cancer Council was formed — a distinguished group of NABC member basketball coaches, American Cancer Society volunteers, and business leaders from across the country to explore new and innovative ways to raise funds, recruit prominent coaches, enhance the program, and help save lives from cancer.
To show support in the fight against cancer, all fans are also invited to wear sneakers to Sunday’s games. To learn more about the nationwide event, visit www.coachesvscancer.org or call 1-800-227-2345.
For those unable to attend the games on Sunday, both an internet audio broadcast and LiveStats are available - go to www.opsu.edu, then “Athletics” then click on “Follow the Aggies Live!” Fans in the Goodwell area may also pick up the broadcast through KPSU – 91.7 FM.
Basketball this Sunday at OPSU – a good time and a good cause.
