EVANSVILLE, Ind. – What has become a tradition of the last decade, the University of Evansville women's basketball team will host the 10th annual Hoops For The Cure game Sunday February 12th, when the Purple Aces host Drake University. Tip-off at the Ford Center is set for 1:00 p.m. CT.

Hoops For The Cure is a collaborative partnership between the UE athletics department, UE women's basketball program, and the Greater Evansville Affiliate of Susan G. Komen For The Cure, which is designed to help raise awareness for the fight against breast cancer.

T-shirts will be available for $10 and tons of great prizes will be auctioned off with all proceeds being donated to the foundation.

The Lady Aces will trade in their normal home white jerseys for ones with a pink twist, while fans are also highly encouraged to wear pink in support of the cause.
