Blue & Gold Fund Fish Fry/Haunted Hoops Another Successful Evening
The Marquette University men’s basketball team hosted another successful evening Friday, welcoming fans to campus for the annual Blue & Gold Fund Fish Fry and Haunted Hoops.
Over 200 people enjoyed a fish fry at the Alumni Memorial Union with the team and staff before heading over to the Al McGuire Center for an open scrimmage. The men’s basketball office staff also set up a series of games for the children to play and at halftime of the scrimmage all of those in costume were invited to the court for a parade.
Led by sophomore Jimmy Butler’s seven points in the first scrimmage, a 10-minute period, the White team posted a 19-10 victory. Each of the five players on the team scored at least two points.
The Blue squad, led by former head coach Hank Raymonds, rallied for a 28-27 victory in the second session. Junior Lazar Hayward’s put back proved to be the game winner after Butler’s 3-pointer at the buzzer bounced off the rim. Sophomore Joe Fulce led the Blue team with nine points and classmate Pat Hazel had nine as well for the White squad.
The season begins in just over a week when the Golden Eagles host Colorado State-Pueblo in exhibition action at the Bradley Center. Opening tip on Nov. 8 is slated for 1 p.m.
