Game Notes

Suits and Sneakers:
As a part of Coaches vs. Cancer, the Cameron men's basketball coaching staff will join basketball coaches nation wide in participating in the Suits and Sneakers event on Thursday vs. Tarleton State. Coaches and their staff across the nation wear sneakers with their suits during games to raise awareness and help save lives from cancer by raising funds and encouraging people to educate themselves about cancer prevention, screening, and early detection. On Saturday, head coach Andrew Brown and his staff will be wearing pink polo shirts to further the promotion of Coaches vs. Cancer. Coach Brown and the rest of the coaches around the nation hope that this event will not only encourage fans to become more aware of cancer and prevention and detection, but to encourage them to donate to their local cancer research venues.
