Feburary 11 brings about the final home basketball games of the year at the Aldrich Athletic Center at Grace Christian University, and it will be much more than the normal night of basketball.
The NCCAA DII #4 Grace women's team faces Great Lakes Christian College to kick things off at 5:00 pm, celebrating their four seniors immediately prior to tip-off. The last game between these two teams ended with Grace squeaking out an exciting 49-47 win at Little Caesar's Arena back in December.
To cap the night off, NCCAA DII #1 Great Lakes Christian College will take on the #2 Tigers at 7:00 pm, a rematch of the 2019 NCCAA DII National Championship game. This is the first time in Grace history that the Tigers have hosted a national #1 vs. #2 match-up. Seniors will be honored eight minutes prior to tip-off before their final action on the Aldrich AC hardcourt.
GIVEAWAYS: Student government is providing a pair of Apple Airpods to be given to one lucky Grace student in attendance. Great Lakes Cattle Company will be donating an entire side of beef to one lucky Grace fan. Jet's Pizza will be provided for the first 100 students in attendance, and fun games will also take place at halftime of each game for prizes.Â
Be sure to come early, as there is a chance that the bleachers will be at capacity by the 7:00 pm game.
