Several dozen of the free Nike shoes, Fuel Bands and basketballs were on display in the oversize goodie “locker” of giveaway products that was lowered from the rafters at Matt Knight Arena. The iPads included in the product display were not up for grabs, unfortunately, although many students tried to redeem their wristband for one. (Michael Arellano/Emerald)
