Pocatello, ID--Idaho State's Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) is sponsoring a "Black Out" campaign for this Saturday's basketball double header against Weber State University. Fans attending the game are encouraged to show their support by wearing black to the game. Idaho State's women will take on WSU at 2:05 p.m. with the men's squad following with a 7:05 p.m. tip-off.

"It's just an attempt to get our fans involved," SAAC vice president Christa Brossman said. "Black is one of our school colors and we thought it would create a neat atmosphere. It would be great to look up in the stands and see everyone wearing Bengal black. I think it will be fun for those attending the games."

Both games will be sponsored by Burger King, who will be providing prizes and coupons to those in attendance. The Idaho State athletic department will also be giving away a number of t-shirts to those showing their Bengal pride.
