Friday night marked the 39th annual Late Night in the Phog at Allen Fieldhouse, and, in addition to musical artist Flo Rida, this year's season tipoff party featured all kinds of entertainment and action from the KU men's and women's basketball players and coaches.
Both teams scrimmaged. Both danced. KU coach Bill Self gave away $20,000 to two lucky students when Mario Chalmers drained a shot from half-court. And KU fans of all ages took in the fun.
