2018 Hoops Season Tipoff Event

The UAB men’s basketball team and the University of Georgia have agreed to play a season-opening charity exhibition game on Thursday, October 18, at 7 p.m. CST in Bartow Arena as part of the 2018 Hoops Season Tipoff Event.  As part of the basketball celebration, which is put on annually by UAB Athletics as part of Homecoming Week, fans will have the chance to witness history as the UAB women’s basketball team celebrates its record-setting 2017-18 season by raising its first C-USA Championship banner in program history during a special halftime ceremony.

Proceeds from the tipoff even will be donated to the American Red Cross in support of disaster relief efforts for the wildfires and high winds sweeping across California.
