With the season kicking off for both the LSU men’s and women’s basketball teams at “Bayou Madness” on Friday night, LSU students will also be able to get in on the action and compete for a $1,000 cash prize.
The event, which will begin with a pep rally outside the Pete Maravich Assembly Center at 6:45 p.m., will feature a 2-Ball contest in which LSU students will be able to team up with players from both the men’s and women’s teams. 
Four teams will be formed and will play each other in semifinal rounds. The winners of the semifinals will meet in the championship game and the two winning students will split the $1,000 prize. Students will be able to sign up at Free Speech Alley throughout the week as well as at the event
itself.
The competition is just one of many events that will take place at “Bayou Madness.” Along with 2-Ball, there will be a live DJ, the Roar Zone Dance Party with student giveaways, scrimmages held by both teams and the return of the popular dunk contest from the 2013 event.
