TheBand Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Men’s Basketball Banquet Set for May 6 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Monday, April 23, 2012 **The May 6 date is a change from an earlier announcement** ST. LOUIS – Saint Louis University will hold a men’s basketball banquet at Chaifetz Arena Sunday, May 6, to celebrate the memorable 2011-12 season which saw the Billikens advance to the third round of the NCAA Tournament. Tickets are $30 per person and may be purchased by calling the Billiken Ticket Office at 314-977-3250 or by email at [email protected]. Doors open at 5 p.m. for a reception, with the dinner and program slated to begin at 6 p.m. Guests will park in the Fred Weber VIP Lot and enter through the Chaifetz Arena VIP entrance on the west side of the building. The Billikens are coming off one of their best seasons in recent history. They went 26-8 overall, advanced to the semifinals of the Atlantic 10 Conference Championship and earned an at-large bid into the NCAA Tournament, their first NCAA appearance since 2000. SLU, a No. 9 seed, upended eighth-seeded Memphis 61-54 in the NCAA second round in Columbus, Ohio, the Bills’ first win in NCAA Tournament play since 1995. Two days later, SLU battled No. 1-seed Michigan State to the wire before falling 65-61. Additional highlights from the Billikens’ 2011-12 campaign include winning the ESPN 76 Classic in Anaheim over Thanksgiving, which led to the Billikens’ first national ranking since 1994. Brian Conklin and Kwamain Mitchell reached the 1,000-point milestone, and the duo were named All-Conference with Conklin earning first-team distinction and Mitchell being named to the third team. In addition, Jordair Jett was named to the All-Defensive team while Conklin and Kyle Cassity earned a spot on the league’s All-Academic team. Included in the celebration will be special recognition for Billiken seniors Kyle Cassity and Brian Conklin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billikan Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 -so how does the date move from friday and with less than 2 weeks remaining from the day of the event???? It was moved from Monday night to Sunday night and I, for one, am very happy because there were several other big events scheduled for Monday. This will free me up for the banquet! Let's get everyone there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyJumpUp Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I am just concerned that with Rick's health issues he may not be able to make the banquet on May 6. Hopefully the AD has a plan in place in case such situation arises. Should we find someone within the program to lead the banquet or should we try to find the best available emcee out there? I want to see Rick make it to the banquet, I just hope they have a plan in place, just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard alex jensen is a mean emcee. is too far out of the program to lead such a banquet is the question? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slu72 Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Did I miss something? Is RM sick? Waiting for more surgery? Why wouldn't he be at his team's banquet, other than being put on a really restrictive diet of whey and soybean burgers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've requested tickets already, so just wanted to see if any familiar faces were going to attend. (Roy, I expect to see YOU there! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
