BOCA RATON, Fla. – The Florida Atlantic University men's and women's basketball programs will host the second annual Paradise Madness on Thursday, October 20 at 6 p.m. inside FAU Arena. The free event will allow FAU students and fans to meet the 2022-23 women's and men's squads, while also enjoying an evening full of giveaways and contests. Doors open at 5:30 p.m.
The night will begin with fans being able to meet the 2022-23 women's and men's basketball teams, as well as hearing from coach Jennifer Sullivan and coach Dusty May about the excitement surrounding the upcoming seasons for both squads.
The two teams will then compete in an intrasquad 3-point contest, before the winning women's player and the winning men's player will then compete for the 3-point championship. Next is a relay race, in which two students will be partnered with two women's basketball players and two more students will be partnered with two men's basketball players to see who is the fastest.
Following the relay race, young fans can compete in the kids' dunk contest to see who has the flashiest aerial skills. The FAU Spirit Squad will then perform for the crowd, before two women's basketball players, two men's basketball players, and three fans will get a chance to compete in a game of knockout.
The night will then conclude with a dunking contest in front of a panel of judges.
Get ready for a fun-filled night on Thursday evening at The Burrow!
