🏀 Virtual Late Night in the Phog Set for October 23
LAWRENCE, Kan. — An annual fan favorite, the 36th annual Late Night in the Phog presented by HyVee, signaling the official start of KU’s men’s and women’s basketball seasons, will debut on Friday, Oct. 23, at 7 p.m. (Central). With the worldwide COVID pandemic, this year’s event will be virtual and streamed on Big 12 Now on ESPN+, Facebook Live and KUAthletics.com. In addition, the event will be featured on local cable networks throughout the state of Kansas, including the Kansas City area.
Late Night in the Phog, produced by KU’s award-winning Rock Chalk Video department, will feature skits by both basketball teams, video highlights, coach and student-athlete introductions, scrimmages by the KU women’s and men’s teams and much more.
It has been a Late Night tradition for fans attending the event to make a donation to local food bank Just Food. With this year’s event being in a virtual format, the Jayhawks encourage fans from across the nation to continue this tradition by making an online donation to Just Food or the charity of their choice in their own community.
Coach Self and his staff will support Just Foods during this year’s Late Night Half Court Challenge. In addition, one lucky fan will win $5,000 as part of the Half Court Challenge. All fans are eligible to enter by downloading the new Kansas Jayhawks app and looking for the Late Night Half Court Challenge under the “More” tab.
