Going to a basketball event lets fans feel the excitement and hear the pleas for quiet from the family living underneath the bleachers. Root recklessly with this deal to see the State Farm College Slam Dunk & 3-Point Championships at Tulane University’s Fogelman Arena on Thursday, March 29, at 8 p.m. Doors open at 7 p.m. Choose between the following options:

• For $29, you get four general-admission tickets (a $59 value, including all Ticketmaster fees)
• For $9, you get one general-admission ticket (a $19.75 value, including all Ticketmaster fees)<p>

Now in its 24th season, the College Slam Dunk & 3-Point Championships unite 24 of the nation’s top ballers for an energized evening of nothing-but-net shots and rim-rattling jams. Rather than volunteering to rotate shifts as the players’ bench, fans can post up in general-admission seats and marvel at the aerial antics of four separate competitions, including men’s and women’s 3-point shooting battles and a soaring slam-dunk finale. This year’s dunk contest will feature underdog James Justice from Martin Methodist College, whose ability to simultaneously bend rims and the rules of gravity convinced online voters to elect him as the event’s inaugural Dark-Horse Dunker. ESPN cameras will rove Fogelman Arena’s sidelines, broadcasting each groan from motion sick balls and eye-popping play to a national audience.
