After shooting in an empty gym for months, junior forward Obi Enechionyia welcomed the opportunity to play in front of a crowd — even if it was just a light-hearted 3-point contest.
The men’s and women’s basketball teams opened their seasons on Thursday during Cherry & White Night at the Liacouras Center.
“You spend a lot of weeks, a lot of months, just looking at one another,” redshirt-senior guard and forward Daniel Dingle said. “So being in the game-themed atmosphere, just a little taste of it, it gives me goosebumps.”
The event started with the introduction of players and coaches from both teams.
