December Billiken Basketball Games 2011

Published by Genevieve Knab on December 2, 2011 in Awesome Students, Billiken Athletics, Chaifetz Event, Event Announcements, Free Stuff, General News and On Campus. 0 Comments

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.

Women’s Basketball

  • Dec. 13th; vs. Missouri-St. Louis; 7:00p.m.
  • Dec. 18th; vs. Drake; 2:00p.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!

Go to Chaifetz Arena tomorrow, Sept. 17, to try and break the world record for most simultaneous handstands. At no cost gymnasts and non-gymnasts are going to try and beat the 2,402 record set in 2005. The activities start at 11 a.m. and run to 1 p.m. There is no cost but donations to raise money for Children’s Miracle Network will be accepted. Seems like SLU is in a record breaking mood lately, so let’s go for one more!
