River States Conference

The IU Southeast Grenadiers will host the Mid-Continent University Cougars for a 7:30 p.m. tip-off on Wednesday, December 19 in the Southeast Activities Building on the New Albany campus.

The Grenadiers, led by former University of Louisville player and first year IU Southeast Head Coach Wiley Brown, will face-off against the Cougars, led by former University of Kentucky player and current Mid-Continent Head Coach Winston Bennett.

Former University of Louisville Men's Basketball Head Coach, Denny Crum, and former University of Kentucky Men's Basketball Head Coach, Joe B. Hall, both plan to be in attendance to sign autographs for fans before and throughout the first half of the game.

Coach Brown is thrilled about having both Coach Crum and Coach Hall in attendance for the game. "It will be an honor for our fans and the campus community to welcome both Coach Crum and Coach Hall to Indiana University Southeast," said Brown. "The distinguished coaches have combined for an impressive nine Final Four appearances and three NCAA Championship titles. Their support for our basketball program and athletic department has just been overwhelming and much appreciated."

The pre-game meet and greet with the coaches will begin at 6:30 p.m. on the concourse level of the Southeast Activities Building. During that time both legendary coaches will sign memorabilia for fans.

Fans can also have a professional photo taken with both coaches before the game at a price of $10 per person. All proceeds will help fund athletic scholarships at Indiana University Southeast.

Ticket prices for the event are $5 for adult general admission and free of charge for children 12 years old or younger. The first 100 fans through the door will also receive a complementary autographed photo of Coach Crum, Coach Hall and Dave Jennings from 790 WKRD-AM.
