Old Dominion University men’s basketball and the Friends of the Old Dominion University Libraries will join forces on Saturday, January 16, 2010 for the annual Baskets for Books game.

The ODU Monarchs will host the Drexel Dragons at 7 p.m. at the Ted Constant Convocation Center.

Two local celebrities will compete in a shoot-out at halftime; each successful basket will earn $25 for the University Libraries, thanks to ESPN Radio 94.1 FM.

Purchase your $20 ticket through the Friends of the Libraries and you will receive club level seating* and a free buffet of all-you-can-eat pizza, soft drinks, and bottled water. $6 of your ticket price is a tax deductible donation to the Old Dominion University Libraries.
