The first hour will be dedicated to the women’s team according to what Vince Tyra told Mark Ennis on 939’s “The Drive.” Some of the activities the women’s team will partake in include:
Skills Challenge
A skills challenge between two teams each comprised of three members of this year’s team. Team 1 is Yacine Diop, Seygan Robins, and one of the Elizabeths that transferred from Georgia Tech and was declared immediately eligible yesterday Elizabeth Dixon. Team 2 has Kylee Shook, who will be taking on a bigger role this year, Molly Lockhart, and the other immediately eligible transfer Elizabeth Balogun. Who will be the team with the most skills?
So who will Team 1 be facing off against?
Team 2:

3-Point Shooting Contest
Four members of this year’s team will participate in the 3-Point Shooting Contest. This year’s likely starting PG Dana Evans, sharpshooters Lindsay Duvall and Jessica Laemmle, and Kianna Smith will participate. Who will be crowned the best shooter on the team? Tonight, we find out.

The second hour will be about #Team106. The men will be participating in a couple of activities themselves:
Dunk Contest
Four members of the team, much like last year, will face off in a dunk contest. Last year’s champ, Darius Perry, returns to defend his crown. The three other participants are all freshmen. Will anyone step up and defeat him or will Darius remain the King? Below are all the participants.

3-Point Shooting Contest
The men will have themselves a 3-Point Shooting Contest as well. Jordan Nwora was last year’s winner and, to the delight of all of Louisville fandom, returned for his junior season. Now he defends his crown against the likes of sharpshooting Ryan McMahon, Steven Enoch, and newcomer Samuell Williamson. Can Jordan be dethroned by the competition or will he reign supreme from beyond the arc again?

There will also be a showdown between Louisville Legend and 2013 MOP Luke Hancock and Louisville AD Vince Tyra. They, along with two fans who entered and won a trick shot contest, will be playing a game of horse. However, the game will be called 502 and whoever gets to 502 first loses. Vince and Luke have been trash talking like crazy on Twitter. Here’s a couple of their tweets below. By the way, I got Luke in this one.

Some members of the Harlem Globetrotters will also be in attendance.
Vince Tyra, Lottie Stockwell, and Luke Hancock have all hinted at some big surprises in store. Could there be special guests? Cardinals Forever making a trip into town? Who knows what they are, but I’m willing to bet they’ll be spectacular.
There will be a ton of recruits attending tonight’s festivities as well. You can read about them here.
So, if you can, make your way down to 4th Street Live! for Louisville Live tonight!
