October isn’t just for football in Oxford.
Last Friday, the men’s and women’s Ole Miss basketball teams took to the Square for a festive night of hoops.
For eight years, both teams have showcased their skills in a variety of challenges for 2,000-plus fans on a makeshift basketball court in front of City Hall on the Square.
The night started with head coaches Yollet-McPhee-McCuin and Kermit Davis hyping an already fired up crowd. With basketball season rapidly approaching, the players walked out to flashy introductions ready for a night of fun.
There were some notable judges on the court as well, including Bob Wischusen, Dan Orlovsky and Kris Budden of ESPN, Sandy and John Black (whose names are on the basketball arena), and former Ole Miss men’s basketball student-athlete John McBride.
