Pink Out Planned For Saturday's Men's Basketball Game

Fans are encouraged to wear pink shirts for cancer awareness when head coach Greg McDermott and the Creighton men's basketball team hosts Indiana State on Saturday afternoon (2:05 pm Central at Qwest Center Omaha).

The promotion is one in which college basketball coaches nationwide will wear sneakers with their sideline attire to raise cancer awareness and remind fans that by making healthy lifestyle choices, such as regular exercise and a healthy diet, they can reduce their own cancer risk. Coaches vs. Cancer is a collaboration of the American Cancer Society and the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC).

Official "Pink Out" t-shirts are available for purchase at the following Lawlor's Custom Sportswear locations: Westroads Mall, Oakview Mall, Shadow Lake Town Center and the Superstore located at 84th & J Streets.

Creighton players will be wearing special shoes with pink coloring, and coaches from both schools will wear sneakers with their suits as part of the national Coaches vs. Cancer awareness campaign.

Upon leaving the men's game, fans are invited to stop by a spaghetti feed at Billy Blue's Alumni Grill (located in the lower level of the Harper Center, 20th & California), which will take place between 4:00 - 6:00 pm. The all-you-can-eat spaghetti feed costs just $6 for adults, $5 with Creighton ID and $3 for kids under 12. The Creighton women's basketball team will host Valley contender Wichita State starting at 6 pm at D.J. Sokol Arena inside the Wayne and Eileen Ryan Athletic Center.
