University of Southern Indiana students, alumni, and fans are invited to take part in the pre-game festivities leading up to the Vectren Community Classic which features one of the biggest exhibition basketball games to be played at Roberts Stadium – Screaming Eagles versus the Purple Aces. The match-up, November 1 at 7:05 p.m., will be the third time ever that the two teams have played on the hardwood.

The tailgate party – sponsored by the USI Alumni Association, the USI Varsity Club, the USI Staff Council, Student Government Association, Activities Programming Board, Lewis Bakeries, and Wesselman’s – begins at 5 p.m. in the Hartke Pool parking lot. Grilled hot dogs and soft drinks will be provided free of charge to tailgating fans. Alcohol is prohibited.
