Applications for the court are due by Dec. 18, but Hart said the deadline may be extended into the Christmas holiday.She said any student with a 2.5 GPA can apply for the court, though in the past it has been dominated by juniors and seniors.The court will be chosen by SG officials. Students will be able to vote through PAWS for the King and Queen for the three days before the game.Kristin Davis and Tyler Abadie, the 2009 Mardi Gras Mambo Court Queen and King, will crown the students elected monarchs during a halftime ceremony.Hart said the homecoming-like event will celebrate women’s basketball and the Mardi Gras season. She said SG is still working on ideas for the ceremony.Students with questions should contact Hart’s assistant Brandon Briggs at [email protected].—-Contact Adam Duvernay at [email protected]
