BAKERSFIELD, Calif. – The CSU Bakersfield basketball season is just around the corner and we are getting ready to kick it off with a bang. Roadrunner fans are invited to come to the Icardo Center for the annual Blue-Gold Scrimmage presented by Bakersfield Hyundai, Oct. 26, at 7 p.m.

The men's and women's basketball teams are giving fans the opportunity to meet the 2017-18 squads while providing an evening filled with exciting basketball action and prizes. The event will feature scrimmages for both the 'Runner men and women, three-point shooting and slam dunk contests, and preseason pep talks from our coaches.

Throughout the night, we will be showcasing our Cheer and Dance teams along with the one and only Rowdy the Roadrunner. The CSUB Pep Band will also be performing while fans will get to interact with our brand new, over-the-court video boards. Keep your eye out for our Plinko game and maybe even catch yourself on the FlexCam.

There will also be an exciting opportunity for one lucky fan to win a brand new Hyundai Tucson. The contestant will be randomly selected and can drive home with the grand prize if he or she can sink a half-court shot. You can sign up ahead of time at this link or enter when you arrive. The contestant must be present to have an opportunity to win.

Come on out to the Icardo Center Thursday night, Oct. 26. Admission is free and the doors will open at 7 p.m. for the public. Current season ticket holders are encouraged to arrive as early as 6 p.m. for ticket pickup and early entrance.
