For fans that can't wait for basketball season to get started, there will be a Basketball Block Party on Oct 12 (First day of Basketball practice) from 7-9pm at Fogelman Arena. There will be a live band/dj outside the front doors plus catering with $1 beers and $1 hotdogs. Inside, there will be a small 3 on 3 open tournament while the band is playing. Registration for this will be open to anyone. First come first play upon availability.

After that, there will be coach and player intros inside followed by a brief speech fro the coaches. Then, they will holds a 3 point competition with 2 students vs. 2 Tulane basketball players (men's and women's) followed by a 2 student vs. 2 Tulane basketball players (men's only) dunk contest judged by the crowd. One fan in attendance will have a chance to win $10,000 by making 5 out of 10 three pointers within 25 seconds.

To finish the night they will hold a 10 minute intrasquad women's scrimmage followed by a 10 minutes men's intrasquad scrimmage. The Green Wave will have a few big basketball recruits on campus that evening for the festivities, although who they are is unknown at this point.
