The women's and men's Davidson basketball teams will be in action in Belk Arena this week.

Wednesday night, Dec. 17, the Women's Basketball team hosts High Point University at 7:00 p.m., and on Thursday, Dec. 18, the men host Temple University. That game is also at 7:00 p.m.

The first 200 fans at Wednesday night's game will receive "Ugly Holiday Shirts." The first 500 fans to Thursday night's game will receive holiday t-shirts.

The Women's Basketball team has 15 games against High Point in the record books, including 12 wins. The men have three previous games against Temple, and are looking for their first win. Last year was a heartbreaker, with the Owls pulling out a 62-61 win. The 'Cats had led 31-24 at the half, but the Owls out-scored them 38-30 in the second.

The women's team will return to Belk Arena on Friday and again on Sunday. Friday's "Education Day" game is at 11:00. (Editor's note: If you have never experienced an "Education Day" game, we recommend wearing ear plugs.) Belk Arena will be packed with local elementary school students.

Sunday's game is another big one for the Wildcats, as they host the N.C. State Wolfpack at noon. The first 500 fans will receive festive hats.
