The Harlem Rockets comedy basketball team is playing against a group of USM students at the Costello Sports Complex in Gorham this Tuesday at 8 p.m.
The Gorham Events Board is hosting the event and drawing names of students who signed up to form the team the Rockets will play. Tickets cost $5 for students and $10 for all others. They can be purchased at the Campus Involvement and Activities Office in the Brooks Student Center in
Gorham, the Student Involvement and Activities Office in the Woodbury Campus Center in Portland Campus, or at the game on Tuesday.
The Harlem Rockets have played in over 2,500 games over the past 16 years and put on a show in the same vein as the Harlem Globetrotters, with plenty of basketball showboating and crowd interaction.
GEB is paying the Rockets $800 to come, along with splitting the tickets sales in half, according the Brett Baker, student and president of GEB.
