Xavier University will hand out 3,000 bobbleheads of their second-year men’s basketball head coach Richard Pitino during the home game against Purdue Fort Wayne on Wednesday, December 9. The giveaway, presented by Home City Ice, will take place at Cintas Center and is open to fans attending the game.
The Musketeers enter the December fixture with a 2-0 record after a win over Eastern Michigan. Pitino, who took over as head coach last season, has quickly become a figure of interest on campus, prompting the decision to offer fans a chance to take home a miniature version of him.
This promotion is part of a series of events Xavier has planned for the season. Earlier in November, the university held a winter clothing drive from the 16th to the 20th, which included one women’s basketball game against Cleveland State and two men’s games against Cleveland State and Iowa. The efforts aimed to support the local community during colder months.
Ahead of the Cleveland State men’s game on November 17, Xavier distributed basketball blob car magnets to attendees. Fans will also receive koozies courtesy of Skyline Chili before the women’s Crosstown Shootout against Cincinnati on December 15.
Tickets to all games, including the December 9 event featuring the bobblehead giveaway, remain on sale through the official Xavier athletics website. The university continues to engage its fanbase with a mix of collectibles and community initiatives as the basketball season unfolds.
