The Wolf Pack basketball team usually holds a free T-shirt night at least once per season, but last year, coach Eric Musselman could have jokingly pitched a different promotional ploy: free helmet night.
“If you sat in the first two rows last year you really needed to pay attention when we had the ball because we had shots ricocheting all over the place,” Musselman joked. “It was smarter to eat your popcorn when we were on defense because when we were on offense the ball was sipping off the rim every which way. We really should have had a free helmet night.
