Penn College hosted its annual Wildcat Madness on Thursday night, a tip-off to the first basketball season as a full member of NCAA Division III.  Highlighting the Bardo Gym event were free food, fan-friendly entertainment, souvenirs, skills challenges (including a shootout, 3-point contest and dunk competition), and the opportunity to meet the men’s and women’s squads before their Wednesday openers.
