Our world-famous Toilet Paper Game

USA Today named it the “best technical foul in all of sports” and the game has been covered by ESPN's “Around the Horn” and “SportsCenter.”

Each year at the first home game, JBU basketball fans come armed with rolls...and rolls...of toilet paper, which they hurl onto the court after the first JBU basket. Starting in 1983, this beloved tradition brings in record crowds and lands JBU an automatic technical foul.
