The men’s and women’s basketball teams will once again host the annual Redbird HoopFest as part of the preseason activities for fans. HoopFest will include a three-point shooting contest, a dunk contest, and intrasquad scrimmages by both teams.

The free event will begin at 7 p.m. on Friday, October 15 inside historic Horton Field House. The venue served as the home court for the Redbirds from 1963 to 1989.
