SLIPPERY ROCK, Pa.
– The Slippery Rock University Athletic Communication Office and WKBN-TV will partner for a live television broadcast of Rock Basketball’s White Out Night doubleheader against Indiana University (Pa.) next Wednesday, Jan. 22.
The Rock women’s basketball team will open the action against IUP with a 5:30 p.m. tip with the men’s game following around 7:30 p.m. It will mark the first home games for SRU in nearly six weeks where students will be back on campus as the spring semester classes are set to begin Tuesday. The Rock Athletic Club will also welcome club members for receptions during both games. Tickets are available online and can be purchased HERE. SRU students will be admitted free.
Fans are encouraged to wear white to the game and can pick up an official “White Out” t-shirt at the SGA Bookstore for just $5 for sizes small through XL and $8 for 2XL. A limited supply of shirts will also be on sale in the lobby of Morrow Field House on game day.
Both games will air live to viewers in the Youngstown, Ohio television markets. They will also be simulcast on the Rock Athletics Digital Network, where SRU broadcasts more than 100 athletics events each year.
“We’ve developed a terrific partnership with the crew at WKBN-TV over the last few years and we’re thrilled to welcome them back to campus for our first live televised basketball games in more than a decade,” said Jon Holtz, director of athletic communication. “We’re hoping our students and the community come out and pack the gym to make it a great atmosphere for a college basketball doubleheader.”
