Golden Dunkers
Spend your pregame with the Golden Dunkers. For select games throughout the season, the Dunkers play host to an all star gopher line up. Each pre-game event starts with a chalk talk with current basketball coaches, followed by a player or special speaker from days gone by spanning seasons coached by Bill Musselman through Coach Johnson. Each pre-game event is accompanied by a delectable meal and ends in time for pre-game in the barn. Please join us as we celebrate our gophers current and past.
