SYRACUSE, N.Y., March 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- University of Cincinnati alumna Gen Mezinskis and a guest won a once-in-a-lifetime Big East experience – a trip to New York City to spend time with Bill Raftery, former Seton Hall coach and CBS and ESPN college basketball analyst, and other legendary college basketball coaches John Chaney and Lou Carnesecca at the 2013 Big East Men's Basketball Tournament Semifinals and Finals.   

Gen, currently a resident of Charlotte, NC, voted for her favorite basketball moment "Cincinnati outlasts Georgetown after double OT" at www.aspendentalmoments.com and won tickets for the Friday night semifinals and Saturday night finals of the 2013 Big East Men's Basketball Tournament on March 15-16, as well as a meet-and-greet with Coach Raftery and other college basketball greats at the Aspen Dental Legends Reception on March 16.
