From Sam the Minuteman on Facebook:

Victor Cruz will be in attendance at tonight's Men's Basketball Game vs. Xavier at 7pm in the Mullins Center. As the Vizio Top Value Performer, he will be giving away a Vizio 42" HDTV to the winner of a half-time salsa-dance contest. Three lucky students will be selected at the game to participate in the contest. Get there early and BE LOUD! |

Haha I love the salsa contest!
It was my mission for 4 years to get on that stupid court for the half-time 3-shot (lay-up, FT, 3pt) contest. Unfortunately, I realized over time that it was rigged, but at least I "supported" the Athletic department by spending about $100 on game programs that were supposed to be a ticket on to the court.  |

Have to say again--did anyone notice, a guy almost won the car on Saturday? He made all three shots, and then his half court shot was in and out.

Eric "Otto" Schwager... he was a manager for the b-ball team back in the early 2000s. Great kid! There is a video of him taking the shot on his FB page as well. That was fun to watch.

So, do you think Eric was "randomly" chosen to play the game, just based on his program sticker?

Yes, I believe he got the sticker (or whatever) randomly, seeing as he probably knows very few people associated with the department (and probably no one within the program).

How could it be rigged? I got a sticker at the St. Louis game (ended up giving it to a kid that really wanted to play) and I'm just a lowly customer who buys a scorecard at every game. Don't know anyone associated with the program.
