The UMass Lowell women's and men's basketball teams host Southern New Hampshire University tonight in the Northeast-10 Conference twin bill at the Costelo Athletic Center (5:30/7:30).
The games will be webcast live on www.goriverhawks.com, the official site of UMass Lowell Athletics, with Scott Sudikoff on the call.
Additionally, JAM'N 94.5 FM and Metro PCS take over the Costello Athletic Center with giveaways, coupons, t-shirts and more. Beginning at 5:30, they'll be taking entries for the Halftime Hook-Up as four lucky students will be selected to participate in a free-throw contest during halftime of the men's game. The winner will have the chance to participate in Metro PCS's 24-Second Shootout to win $10,000.
