WEEKLY SPOTLIGHT: Bishop hoopsters to "Think Pink" on Saturday, February 16th

Fayetteville, NC - The USA South is pleased to announce its involvement with the Women's Basketball Coaches Association's (WBCA) "Think Pink Week". This program is a global, unified effort for the WBCA's nation of coaches to assist in raising breast cancer awareness on the court, across campuses, in communities and beyond. The USA South's participation in the "Think Pink" initiative will include all ten women's basketball teams, as well as several men's teams, and take place from February 8th through the 17th.

The Conference has supplied each team with pink shoelaces. In addition, game officials will be equipped with pink whistles to use during each contest. The Bishops will be supporting this initiative on Saturday, February 16th, when Greensboro College visits Everett Gymnasium. The women tip off at 2:00 p.m. followed by the men at 4:00 p.m. Wesleyan will offer free admission to all fans who choose to wear pink in honor of this program.

"The USA South is proud to support and promote an initiative that touches the lives of so many people," stated Rita Wiggs, USA South Athletic Conference Commissioner. "Our hope is to make a difference in breast cancer awareness support and research."
