IOWA CITY, Iowa – Fans of the two basketball programs at the University of Iowa will have an opportunity to add to their collection of souvenir bobbleheads at the next home games of Lisa Bluder’s nationally ranked UI women’s basketball team and Fran McCaffery’s UI men’s basketball team.
On Saturday, Bluder’s Bunch entertains Ohio State at 3 p.m. in Carver-Hawkeye Arena in a game of two nationally ranked opponents that were picked by many to be the top two teams of the Big Ten Conference. The Buckeyes are the defending Big Ten regular season and tournament champion.
Saturday is also “Kachine Alexander Bobblehead Day.” The first 1,000 spectators in attendance Saturday will receive a souvenir bobblehead of Iowa’s dynamic senior all-Big Ten guard from Minneapolis. Another 500 bobbleheads will be available to win as a prize in scratch-to-win cards that will be given to all fans attending the game. Other prizes include season tickets to the 2011-12 home games of the Hawkeyes, single-game tickets and savings at the Official Iowa Hawk Shop.
Next Wednesday, Iowa entertains Big Ten Conference rival Northwestern at 7:30 p.m. in Carver-Hawkeye Arena. That game has been designated “Jarryd Cole Bobblehead Day” with the first 2,000 spectators in attendance receiving a souvenir bobblehead of the senior center from Kansas City. Another 500 bobbleheads will be provided to fans with winning scratch-to-win cards.
Iowa’s game with Northwestern is also the first of five “Family 4-Pack” nights at Carver where fans can purchase in advance a package of four game tickets, four hot dogs and four Cokes.
