JBU Hosts Annual Toilet Paper Basketball Game

Updated: November 1, 2011

No time to squeeze the Charmin in Siloam Springs Tuesday night.

More than 1,800 people gathered at Bill George Arena on the John Brown University campus for the annual toilet paper game!

Every year during the first home basketball game, fans come armed with toilet paper to throw on the court after the first field goal.

The Golden Eagles earned a technical foul after fans tossed about a thousand rolls onto the basketball court, but the team didn't mind.

It's a tradition that began in the early 80's, and it's become a fan favorite.

It even garnered the nickname "best technical foul in all of sports" by national newspaper USA Today!
