ABERDEEN, S.D. – As the Northern State University men's and women's basketball teams get set to host Augustana College and Wayne State College in a weekend of critical Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference match-ups, NSU athletic officials have announced a full slate of festivities to celebrate the Wolves' final regular season home stand.

Friday night has been designated as a Maroon Out Night.  Fans are encouraged to wear maroon to the games to watch the Wolves take on the Augustana Vikings.  NSU will also honor their seniors prior to tip-off of both the men's and women's contests.

Saturday night is the Wolves' annual “I Hate Winter” celebration.  NSU will take on the Wildcats of Wayne State and recognize their parents throughout the night.  Saturday has also been designated as a Franchise Game, meaning ticket prices will increase by $1.  General admission adult tickets will be $10 per person, $9 for seniors and $6 for students.  Wolves Club passes will still be honored, as will NSU students with ID.

NSU will also recognize their alumni basketball players on Saturday.  The women will hold their annual alumni game on Saturday at 2 p.m.  Due to the Wolves' indoor track meet on Saturday, that game will be played at the Washington Street Gymnasium.

Both Friday and Saturday night's contests will be televised live on Midco SportsNet.  The women's games will tip off at 6:05 p.m. both nights with the men to follow.
