ASHEVILLE, N.C. – UNC Asheville men's basketball head coach Nick McDevitt knows it's about family.
That's why he is so excited for the upcoming 2018 Bulldog Basketball & Alumni Weekend.
"UNC Asheville is a special place, and for alumni to be able to bring their families and friends back to our beautiful campus makes for an exciting weekend," McDevitt said. "We are really looking forward to welcoming our alumni and all former Bulldogs back to UNC Asheville."
UNC Asheville women's basketball head coach Brenda Mock Kirkpatrick also knows it's a very important weekend.
"We are so excited to welcome back many women's basketball alums in February to reunite with former teammates and also spend a little time with our current players," Kirkpatrick said. "We have such a unique advantage in building this Bulldog family with former 10-year coach Betsy Blose on staff here, as well as building a base with the young ladies that have graduated under our tenure in the past five years. We are really looking forward to the legends game that will occur on Friday night, as it's been a while since we have done something like that. We are also appreciative of everything the university is doing for all UNC Asheville alumni that weekend to make this a special experience for everyone involved."
The 2018 Bulldog Basketball & Alumni Weekend will be held Feb. 2-3, 2018, on the campus of UNC Asheville.
The weekend will open with Bulldog fans given the chance to see UNC Asheville greats on the hardwood once again with the Alumni Legacy Games at Kimmel Arena inside the Sherrill Center at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 2, 2018.
The Alumni Legacy Games featuring both legends from the UNC Asheville men's and women's basketball programs are completely FREE and open to the public.
In addition, The Hop Ice Cream Café owned and operated by UNC Asheville alumni Greg and Ashley Garrison will be selling their delicious ice cream at the games.
If you are an alumni basketball player interested in attending and/or playing, please contact and RSVP to Betsy Blose at bblose@unca.edu.
The first game of the men's and women's basketball doubleheader on Saturday, Feb. 3, will take place inside Kimmel Arena starting at 2 p.m. with the women's basketball team playing host to Big South Conference rival Winthrop.
After the conclusion of the women's game there will also be a special Alumni Zone in the atrium of the main concourse of the Sherrill Center. To gain access, all alumni must purchase an alumni ticket.
