Long Beach, Calif. - Season-ticket holders, students, Director’s Circle members and Beach Kids Club members will have the opportunity to get a first look at the two Long Beach State basketball teams at the annual Black and Gold Scrimmage beginning at 7 p.m. this Friday in the Walter Pyramid.

For the first time ever, the teams will combine the kickoff event for stakeholders in the Long Beach State programs. Friday night will also be the first opportunity for season-ticket holders to pick up the 2017-18 STH gift.

Those attending will have an introduction to both teams, and then the men’s program will play an abbreviated scrimmage.

The women’s team has elected to work on drills instead of scrimmage, and as such, will take center court in a break between the two halves of the men’s scrimmage.

Following the on-court action, attendees will get a chance to get a sneak peek at the introduction videos for the 2017-18 season and hear from both Jeff Cammon and Dan Monson in advance of the season.

For information on purchasing 2017-18 season tickets, please call or text the Long Beach State ticket office at (562) 985-4949.
