Yellowjackets Host Montana AAU in Exhibition Monday (Nov. 9, 2003)

BILLINGS, MT – The MSU Billings men’s basketball team will face its first outside competition of the season Monday when the Yellowjackets host a Montana AAU team comprised of former college players.  Monday will also be the first night for the “Jacket Jackpot,” a chance for fans in attendance to win $1000 cash.

Tip-off for Monday’s exhibition is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. at Alterowitz Gymnasium.  The Montana AAU roster will include Todd Harris (Black Hills State), Adam Leachman (MSU-Bozeman), Max Soft (Indiana Wesleyan), Steven Wieder (Minot State), Rick Watson (Sheridan CC), Jason Mims (Eastern Montana), Jethro Wilson (MSU Billings), Rodney Owens (Rocky Mountain), Rollie Frye (Jamestown), and Eddie Cochrun (MSU Billings). 

First Interstate Bank in the Billings Heights will sponsor the first of this year’s 20 “Jacket Jackpots.”  Every fan in attendance at MSU Billings each men’s basketball game will have the opportunity to enter a drawing for $1000 cash.  For just $1, fans can enter the Jackpot once at each game.  Each person who enters the contest remains in the pot for the entire season.  Thus someone attending all 20 men’s basketball games and entering the contest for $1 will have 20 tickets in the pot by the end of the season.  In addition to fans entering the contest at the games, all MSU Billings students, faculty and staff have been entered in the Jackpot once.  To win the $1000, the winner must be present at the second media timeout of the second half.
