DENTON , Texas – Fans at Texas Woman’s University basketball games will enjoy several new and exciting promotions for the 2005-06 season including a special performance by the Extreme Team.
The Pioneers are featuring giveaways and post-game autograph sessions with TWU players at every home game. Before every contest the first 100 fans will receive Bingo cards.

During the seven Lone Star Conference home games and the Texas A&M-Commerce game, one contestant will have the opportunity to win $10,000 at halftime. The fan must make a lay-up, free throw, three-point shot and a half-court shot in 25 seconds to win.
