NSU basketball teams welcome fans to annual showcase Thursday in Prather Coliseum

The first chance for Northwestern State basketball fans to see their 2026-27 teams comes Thursday evening with the annual Demon Madness event.

Adding to the Homecoming week itinerary, the event will open to the public at 6 p.m. inside Prather Coliseum. Food will be available from 6 p.m. until supplies run out and will be served on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Admission to Demon Madness is free and open to the public.

The night will feature a 3-point shooting competition, a dunk contest and there will be interactive challenges that will involve fans and members of both teams.

Both teams will sign autographs and mingle with fans before the events begin around 7 p.m.

A limited number of Northwestern season tickets remain available and can be purchased at the event, by visiting www.NSUTickets.com, by visiting the NSU Athletics ticket office inside the Donald G. Kelly Athletic Complex or by calling the office at 318-357-4268.
