Sewanee’s basketball teams take on archrival Rhodes College on Sunday, Feb. 8, in Juhan Gym at the Fowler Center. To encourage support for the Tiger teams, there are a number of special events planned, to which all are invited.
Using the theme, the “Sixth Man Matters,” the Sewanee coaches hope to get the entire gymnasium full of excited fans. For the Rhodes game, the teams will don their black-colored uniforms. Black “Sixth Man Matters” T-shirts will be given free to fans.
“Having a great crowd really helps the team,” said Bubba Smith, head coach of the men’s basketball team at Sewanee. “We hope everyone—community members, college students and all fans—will come out and support the teams.”
“Sixth Man Matters” is a reminder that although there are only five players on the court, the “sixth man” makes a difference from the sidelines.
In addition to T-shirts on Sunday, there will be halftime giveaways, a shooting contest, and free pizza and drinks between games.
“Sixth Man Matters” is a project of the Cornerstone Initiative at Sewanee, an effort to help members of the Sewanee community contribute their ideas, energy and commitment to work toward common goals. The initiative seeks to create a more positive and healthy student life on campus.
Home Sewanee basketball games this weekend include games today (Friday), Feb. 6, against Hendrix (women’s game at 6 p.m.; men’s game at 8 p.m.), and the contests against Rhodes on Sunday, Feb. 8. The women play at 1 p.m.; the men’s game begins at 3 p.m.
