Basketball season is here and Orange fans will have the opportunity to have a first look at the Syracuse University men's and women's basketball teams for Orange Tip-Off, a free fan event on Friday, Oct. 13. Gates open at 6 p.m. and the event begins at 7 p.m.

The event will feature a night of basketball-themed events including scrimmages for both teams, shooting competitions and a chance to meet this year's men's and women's teams.
Â
Orange Tip-Off is a family-friendly fan event with the Syracuse band and spirit squads helping to create a game-like atmosphere. One lucky student will have the chance to win a brand-new TV and there will be a pair of Syracuse vs. Pittsburgh football tickets given away for the game at Yankee Stadium on Nov. 11.
