UAM STUDENT CONTEST:  With conference play beginning for basketball, you have the opportunity to enter to win the Union Bank $10,000 Full Court Putt Challenge on February 28, when UAM takes on Ouachita Baptist At each home game, beginning Dec. 4th, students can enter once at the women's game and once at the men's game, until halftime of each. (That's two entries per game day) The more games you attend, the more entries you have to be drawn from for your chance at the $10,000 contest! One lucky student will be drawn at the final home game of the season to putt a golf ball 94 feet down the Steelman Field House basketball court for $10,000, with a regulation putter and ball. BUT, at each home game prior, a student, who entered their name, will be chosen to shoot a free throw shot for $100. If that shot is missed, then the money rolls over to the next week. There is a possibility of a $1,000 free throw shot, on top of the $10,000 full court putt, if no one makes it.
