ASU students use the "Curtain of Distraction" to distract the opposing team during a free throw at a women's basketball game in Tempe.
A basketball game might be the last place you’d expect to see costumes, skits or curtains. But Arizona State University has a longstanding tradition to use those things to help their team win.
It’s called the "Curtain of Distraction," and the goal is to make it harder for the opposing team to make a free throw.
The Show went to an ASU women’s basketball game earlier this season to get a look behind the curtain.
