December Billiken Basketball Games 2011

In case you didn’t know, our men’s basketball team is ranked No. 23rd in the latest AP poll. The last time we were ranked this highly was during the 1993-94 season. So this is kind of a big deal.

I suggest, then, that we go out and support our awesome basketball teams! Especially since there are a number of home games (taking place in the Chaifetz Arena) that are coming up in December:

Men’s Basketball

  • Dec. 3rd; vs. Portland: 7:00p.m.
  • Dec. 7th; vs. Vermont: 7:00p.m.
  • Dec. 10th; vs. Illinois-Springfield: 1:00p.m.
  • Dec. 17th; vs. Alabama State; 7:00p.m.
  • Dec. 22nd; vs. Arkansas State; 7:00p.m.
  • Dec. 27th; vs. Texas Southern; 7:00p.m.

You can check out the rest of the schedule for the season for the men’s team here and the women’s team here. Woot, basketball! Let’s all go out and cheer them on!
