An old friend comes to town tonight to face the William Jewell basketball teams, as former Heart of America Athletic Conference rival Graceland University is the opponent tonight at the Mabee Center.

The two schools last faced each other on January 27, 2011.  Jewell has since departed the HAAC for NCAA Division II status and a spot in the Great Lakes Valley Conference.

Tipoff of the women's game is 5:30 p.m. tonight, with the men slated at 7:30.

Live video of the doubleheader is available on the William Jewell College Sports Network beginning at 5:10 p.m.  Rick Cole and Tim Crone will have the play-by-play; for information on accessing the live televised coverage, please read this.

Passes purchased to watch the live coverage are good for both games of the doubleheader.

The Cardinal women are 3-2 this season, while the men are 1-3.  The Cardinals start GLVC play next Thursday, when Rockhurst comes to the Mabee Center.
