For the third straight year, Western Kentucky will offer fans a peek at the upcoming men’s basketball season with an open scrimmage at 2 p.m. Oct. 20 at E.A. Diddle Arena.

The scrimmage is expected to last about two hours and is free to the public. Doors will open at 1 p.m. 

With WKU football hosting Old Dominion at 6:30 p.m., those with football parking passes are encouraged to park in their assigned spots.

Free parking for the basketball scrimmage will also be available in Parking Structure 1, Adams Street Lot, Kentucky Street Lot and the Alumni Square Garage. All other surface lots and PS2 will be reserved for WKU Football. 

The open scrimmage comes two days after WKU’s annual basketball tip-off event, Hilltopper Hysteria, which is set for 6:30 p.m. Thursday.
