On Thursday February 25, MCC will host Australian Indigenous Awareness night. This night is designed to educate our community about the Indigenous people of Australia, and how the Indigenous Basketball Australia organization provides opportunities for indigenous Australians to play basketball while embracing their culture. Freshman Rebekah Dallinger and fellow freshman from North Dakota State College of Science Ambah Kowcun were teammates on the 2019 Indigenous Basketball Australia All-Star team. The first 100 fans to the game will get a free t-shirt with a unique design for the game designed by Australian Indigenous Artist, Krystal Dallinger, Rebekah Dallinger's cousin.
