On the evening of Tuesday, March 29, UT Tyler was honored to have a visit from the Harlem Globetrotters, an internationally acclaimed basketball team.
The game, from the team’s introduction onto the court to the time of signing basketballs and other autographs at the end, lasted over two hours.
Two players from the well-known team even took time to comment on UT Tyler:
“Hey you guys, it’s Wham Middleton with the world-famous Harlem Globetrotters down here at UT Tyler. It’s been an amazing experience, we just had a game, the fans were awesome! It was incredible, I loved it, I can’t wait to come back,” said one player.
“Hello, my name is Cheese from the world-famous Harlem Globetrotters. We had a great game today, great facilities, great crowd, great city and people. We really put [the game] on today, and thank you so much for having us!” said another.
