COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – The Tennessee Tech women's basketball team will be back home for a pair of league matchups with Austin Peay and Murray State this week, with each one featuring a unique set of circumstances.
Thursday's Tech-Austin Peay clash will be played as the nightcap of the doubleheader, and will start after the conclusion of the men's contest at approximately 8 p.m. CT.
The switch was made to accommodate the broadcast of the men's tilt, which will air on ESPNews at 6 p.m.
The Golden Eagles will then return to a 5:30 p.m. tip to hold their annual Play4Kay game on Saturday against Murray State.
Tennessee Tech will do its part to show support for cancer awareness by wearing pink uniforms and shoes during the game, but Tech's jerseys will be a bit more personalized than just the change of color.
The pink jerseys will feature the surnames of select cancer survivors and others affected by cancer. The jerseys have been generously sponsored by members of the Tech community and women's basketball team.
Tech players will also escort these survivors and those affected by cancer in a presentation during halftime of the men's basketball game on Saturday.
The event will run in conjunction with the athletic department's Think Pink initiative, which will feature a "pinked-out" video board and a Think Pink t-shirt toss.
Everyone in attendance at the game is encouraged to wear pink to honor those affected by cancer.
