When the Drake University men's basketball team hosts SIU Jan. 30, it will also serve as Drake Relays presented by Hy-Vee Night at the Knapp Center, Blake Boldon, the Franklin P. Johnson Director of the Drake Relays announced Tuesday.
The evening will celebrate the Drake Relays presented by Hy-Vee, reward its loyal all-session ticket holders and recognize the officials that have made the Relays 'America's Athletic Classic.' One of the highlights of the evening will be a halftime dunk contest featuring elite Relays' competitors judged by a panel of local celebrities.
"We are excited to take some of the world's finest athletes from the Blue Oval to the Knapp Center hardwood to entertain our great fans and showcase these tremendous athletes in a different environment," Boldon said.
