Green dot to appear at LWU Feb 19 basketball games

By Duane Bonifer

Area residents can attend one of the biggest rivalries in Kentucky college athletics while also supporting a good cause on February 19, 2026. That's when the Lindsey Wilson University women's and men's basketball teams play Georgetown College at Biggers Sports Center while also bringing attention to the Green Dot Program -- an effort to raise awareness of and prevent sexual assault.

The women's game begins at 5:30pmCT on Thursday, February 19, 2026, followed by the men's game, which is scheduled to start at 7:30pmCT.

"Kentuckians love basketball, so we thought that a doubleheader between two big in-state rivals would be an excellent way to educate more people about the Green Dot program," said Lindsey Wilson Director of Student Activities Stephanie Blackwood, who is organizing and coordinating the event.


The Green Dot is a research-based violence-prevention program that teaches volunteers to recognize the warning signs of stalking, sexual assault, and dating and domestic violence. Green Dot empowers Lindsey Wilson employees and students with tools and knowledge to intervene and diffuse dangerous situations.

Lindsey Wilson has partnered with the mental healthcare services organization Adanta Group of Columbia to promote the Green Dot initiative on campus.

Throughout the February 19, 2026, games at Biggers Sports Center, Lindsey Wilson and Adanta Group employees will be on hand to provide education materials, hold special events and hand out promotional items.

"We appreciate the strong partnership we have with our friends at Adanta," said Blackwood. "Educating people about stalking, sexual assault, and dating and domestic violence requires a lot of people working together toward the same goal, and fortunately we have that support in Columbia-Adair County."
