Billikenboy Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Hey....does anyone know if the night of "Billiken Madness" will be broadcasted on any stations or video streamed. I really wish I could be there to see the event but work has me on the east coast that weekend. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taj79 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Is this the start of the basketball practice season or have the guys already been in the gym? I know the old start date revolved around October 15th but I am seeing where some schools out here have already begun. Did they move it to October 1 and I missed it? Just curious. I saw a post where Villanova began nine days ago. But it used to be at 5 pm the Friday closest to 10/15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drkelsey55 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 First practice was 9-27. NCAA expanded practice start dates to I think 6 weeks prior to your first game or something like that. Can't remember where I saw this. Found It. http://espn.go.com/blog/collegebasketballnation/post/_/id/84230/earlier-practice-date-approved-for-fall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUBillsFan Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Saw on twitter that #BillikenMadness will be going up against a home Blues game vs the NY Rangers (7pm) and potentially game 2 of the NLCS should the Cardinals advance. Not to be chicken little, but I hope SLU gets a decent crowd. It will be important for the students to show up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they have been in the gym and doing conditioning workouts since late august Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really find it odd that they still have not listed the activities schedule - seems rather lame to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowboy Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 -the link to ncaa.org matches what I heard on the radio (I think it was Frank but not certain) where teams can practice on 30 of the 42 days before their first regular season game -normally there is one day a week where you can't practice so during these 6 weeks leading up to the first game there are 12 days you can't practice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billiken class of 15 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Heard that the band will be playing at this. They're trying to make it a bigger, more festive event, similar to what the bigger schools do for the "Midnight Madness" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
