DETROIT – Adrian College is partnering up with the Detroit Pistons for AC Night on Sunday, January 28 when the Pistons host the Oklahoma City Thunder at 6:00 PM. Following the game between the Pistons and the Thunder, the Adrian College men's basketball team will take on Trine University at Little Caesars Arena at 9:15 PM.
 
"We are very grateful for the Pistons organization for allowing us this awesome opportunity," said head men's basketball coach Tim Kaiser. "Our players having an opportunity to play a MIAA game in an environment like this is something they will never forget. This will be a great night for our players, their parents, alumni, and the college as a whole. We are very excited."
 
The Detroit Pistons College Night Series has been recognized as one of the largest in the entire NBA. The Pistons partner with fifteen universities throughout the state of Michigan and have had over 11,000 fans attend a College Night since its inception two seasons ago.
 
The Adrian College Night ticket packages start at $33, which includes a ticket to the January 28^th Pistons versus Oklahoma City Thunder game at 6:00pm, access to the Adrian versus Trine men's basketball game at 9:15pm, a co-branded Pistons/Bulldogs crewneck sweatshirt, and a donation back to Adrian College Assist Fund.
 
"First and foremost, this opportunity wouldn't have been possible without the hard work between Jenny Carlson '09 in the Adrian Alumni Department and Sarah Kracht '17 in the Pistons Ticket Sales Department to grow the relationship between Adrian and the Pistons into a point where we can include Adrian in our College Night Series," said Clark Rowekamp '07, Senior Director of Group Sales. "This will be the first time we are hosting a MIAA Conference game in conjunction with our College Night Series. As a former basketball player at Adrian, I am excited to use my platform here with the Pistons to highlight Adrian College and provide their student athletes with some special experiences."
