The Return of Midnight Madness

In a sold-out Walsh Gymnasium, there was standing-room-only for Pirate fans at Midnight Madness, the traditional opening of the college basketball season. The celebratory first practice of the season, which took place on October 13, 2000, marked Seton Hall’s first Midnight Madness in four years. Students and fans cheered both the men’s and women’s teams as they practiced.

(Above right) Before Midnight Madness began, team captain Reggie Garrett, Seton Hall’s only four-year veteran player, addressed the sold-out crowd. The senior challenged them to keep the “madness” going throughout the 2000- 01 season. (Above) Later on, Garrett brought the crowd to its feet with his high-flying dunk.

40 SETON HALL UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE Univer sity Day Attr acts All Ages

University Day 2000 was a hit with the kids, both young and old, from decorating pumpkins to painting faces, from stuffing scarecrows to mastering the Moon Bounce. Members of the Seton Hall University community came out in droves on a warm Saturday — October 21, 2000 — to celebrate with their families, friends and classmates.

The Pirate mascot was on hand to get the crowd going. Seton Hall basketball fans were able to “sneak a peek” at the 2000-01 men’s and women’s teams at open practices throughout the day. University Day 2000 events “staffers” welcomed the community to the daylong affair. Amanda Bednar ’00, administrative assistant to the assistant vice president for University relations (left), and Tricia Nardone, publications secretary/production assistant (right), along with a freshman volunteer, proudly display the new University Day magnets given to each registered guest.

The Alumni Associa - tion provided infor - mation throughout University Day. Alumni classes end - ing in “5” and “0” celebrated their reunions at an after - noon barbecue, evening cocktail receptions and spe - cial dinner festivities.

Monsignor Robert Sheeran ’67, University president (right), and Aaron Campbell ’68, president of the African-American Alumni Association, attended the African-American Alumni Reception on University Day. The reception drew nearly 75 alumni.
