Billikens Basketball

Roger, who is one of my co-workers, kindly gave me some tickets to a Billikens exhibition game at the Scottrade Center. I hadn't been to the center since it changed from the Savvis Center, but other than a new digital advertising display that circles the center above the executive boxes & what looked like new TV screens in the center of the arena, it was just the same as usual.

Cheryl & Beth came with me & 'The Bills' didn't disapoint & played a really good game, beating the opposition 84 to 50. As usual, the St Louis 'pep' band were completely mad, jumping about all over the place whilst playing. The other SLU students attending the event also did a good job of trying to put off the opposition whilst shooting for the SLU hoop, with their foil covered boards & spinning spiral pole mounted pictures!
