MEMPHIS, TENN. - The Big Blue Celebration Parade for the Tiger men's basketball team, being planned for Friday night in downtown Memphis, has been cancelled and no makeup date has been set at this time.

Previous travel plans made by a number of players to visit their families and recruiting travel by members of the coaching staff made it impossible to have full participation from the team. Most of the Tiger players have been in Memphis since September of 2007 when the school year began and have not had a chance to return to their homes due to the December schedule of games.
