Does anybody know if they are doing the same as last year with the men and women competing against each other?

let me take this moment to welcome you to the board. Welcome!
Now to answer your question. We'll know in 20 minutes.
When you get a certain age you tend not to want to rush things (i.e. months out), enjoying the moment of sorts. You youngsters go ahead though.
Just sayin...
That trivia portion was so god awful. Couldn't believe it went on as long as it did...Liked the scrimmage last year, but they should get rid of the trivia portion and bring back the dunk contest.

According to this article above, we are about 6 WEEKS until that time... not MONTHS... Just wanted to know if there were some concrete plans for the night already... I might not waste time there if its the same dog and pony show as last year.
I wasn't there, was it like on Gameday when they quiz players about each other? Because that could be hilariois if done right.That trivia portion was so god awful. Couldn't believe it went on as long as it did...
Yeah, just show up and sit wherever you want.First Night you just show up right? No ticket needed?
I don't really remember- I think one portion was drawings from local school children of cartoon characters and super heroes and they had the players guess them. The trivia portion pretty much sucked all the excitement out of the room after the intros and the intro videos. It got to the point where the emcees, Donny Marshall and a lady (forget her name), ended the trivia about half way through asking the crowd if they were ready for the scrimmage.I wasn't there, was it like on Gameday when they quiz players about each other?

LOL but those activities did produce two Championships last year ( I know I'm stretching it). Therefore I highly doubt they make any changes, at least this year.It was more fun when it was just the guys and the ladies had their separate gig…….it's fairly ridiculous now. The first year they did the dunk contest I had to watch Tina Charles and Maya Moore attempt "dunks " and it was painful….then the skills contest and now the trivia? It's a joke quite honestly especially when they scrimmage where you see they don't belong on the court together and the guys need to tame it down in order to make it look okay.
I get the camaraderie and the Dual Championship stuff (College Basketball Capital of the World) but they had a parade and it's over - now it's show time. I want to see Calhoun guarding Hamilton, Lubin guarding Facey or Nolan, Sam Jr making fadeaways etc etc…………..
