MADISON, Wis. — With the return of Wisconsin men's basketball this week comes a number of game day promotions and giveaways planned for those in attendance at the Kohl Center during the 2024-25 season.

This year's "Stripe Out" game is scheduled for Nov. 15 versus Arizona, while the "White Out" game is set for Feb. 4 against Indiana.

Nov. 15 will be a special day at the Kohl Center, as members of the 2014 and 2015 Final Four teams will be recognized, including Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame head coach Bo Ryan. At halftime, a banner with Ryan's name will be unveiled and raised into the rafters of the Kohl Center.

The first giveaway of the season for fans will be Nov. 10 versus Appalachian State, as it will be Military Appreciation Day at the Kohl Center and the first 10,000 fans in attendance will receive a rally towel.
