Very exciting. Looking forward to seeing it unveiled. The 1983-84 team will be honored during the game. It will be cool if other former players are there as well.

Any idea how much it cost? Are they putting it near the Haskins Center?

Not sure how much it cost since it was donated. The statue will be at the main entrance.

Tim Hardaway posted on Facebook that he plans to attend a game this year. This might be the game. It's just unfortunate this event is taking place during a bad basketball season. I hope people will show up early for the event.

coming in for Thursdays game. A must win for us.
Hoping they can score in the 80's to win. Right now, I feel this team cant get out of their own way to close out a game. I think its just bad coaching.
Show up, and let them know we are behind them.

I applaud you for traveling to the game. That's a pretty bold prediction, considering Middle Tennessee is a 8.5 point favorite.

I'll be there for the La Tech/SHSU weekend. Looking forward to seeing some of the players from back in my day when I was a student.
