PEORIA, Ill. -- The Bradley men's and women's basketball teams and the Braves Club are preparing for the spring banquet season, which will get underway next week with the annual Men's Basketball Postseason Banquet Wednesday night at the Michel Student Center. The men's banquet will be followed by the Women's Basketball Postseason Banquet April 26.
Dave Snell, the veteran radio voice of Bradley Basketball, will emcee the two basketball postseason banquets, which will feature the announcement of the annual team awards, the viewing of postseason highlight videos and autograph opportunities with the players and coaches.
The Bradley Men's Basketbal Postseason Banquet will be held April 22 on campus in the Michel Student Center Ballroom. Doors will open at 5:30 p.m. and the dinner program will begin at approximately 6 o'clock.

The Braves Club Open House will provide the participants the opportunity to interact with Bradley student-athletes and coaches from all 14 teams, tour the athletics facilities, learn about the Athletics Performance Arena and Men's Basketball Practice Facility currently under construction and become more familiar with the Braves Club in general. The event is free and the Methodist Family Fun Zone will be open for children (with supervision) during program activities.
