The Valparaiso University Men's Basketball Banquet will be held on Tuesday, April 22 at the Strongbow Inn Banquet Center.  The event begins at 6 p.m. with dinner served at 6:30 p.m.

The public is invited to attend this celebration of the Valpo season which saw the Crusaders finish 22-14 overall, the most wins by a Crusader team in the last six years.  The Crusaders earned their first postseason berth in four seasons, garnering an invite to the inaugural College Basketball Invitational, and closed out the season with seven wins in the last nine games.  Valpo also defeated a BCS conference opponent on its home court for the first time since 1971 when the Crusaders downed Washington.

The cost of the banquet is $28 per person and includes tax and gratuity. For more information or to make reservations, contact Sherry Williams at (219) 464-5254 or Sherry.Williams@valpo.edu by Tuesday, April 15.
