Well!

No need for a press conference tomorrow - huh?

Also... from that link:

"The Ramblers and Braves share five common opponents this season. Bradley picked up non-conference victories over UIC, Milwaukee and SIU-Edwardsville, while dropping affairs to UMKC and Butler."

Huh???

I think they can save the expense of the press conference....Loyola already did the announcement for them.

It is now official-
Bradley at Loyola, Saturday. Game time is to be announced.

Maybe instead of having a press conference tomorrow to announce that we are playing Loyola, we should instead have a press conference announcing that BU is working feverishly with ESPN to see if there is some way to get Chicago St., University of Chicago, Robert Morris College, Wheaton College, Lake Forest College, Moody Bible Institute, and the DeVry Institute of Technology all involved in the Bracket Buster games in the future. That way we can guarantee that we will have a game against a lousy basketball team in the Chicago area every single year.

Great...

All those Chicago people who complain about never getting a game up there... you better at least go to this. That's the only good thing that comes from playing Loyola.

BracketBusters... we thought we were getting something that would help us? Oh, wait... nevermind.

Wow! I bet the boys will be up for this game

I am one that does not blame ESPN. Call me goofy but BU could have prevented this by winning a couple of games that they lost. It is on the program to take care of business and not rely on ESPN to give them a good game. On the positive side, a win against a not so strong bracketbuster opponent could help reach the magical number of 20 wins for the 4th year in a row

Road trip to Chicago for a nice meal and there will be no problems getting tickets.

Loyola could end up being a season opener next year when the schedule could be filled with very good games except the 1st 2 in the Vegas tourney.

Except for the fact that the BYU game is already scheduled for the first day non-tourney participants can play games.

Is Elgin mad at the Braves or what....first we are the only team this season to have 3 road games in a row and now a Bracket-buster game against a team that if you win you drop in RPI? I just don't get it!

Yeah, I agree with this. I mean what did we expect? Yes, we're tied for second in the conference, but our non-conference performance was not very impressive.

Too bad Depaul plays in the Big East, otherwise they'd qualify as a lousy basketball team in the Chicago area. Does Governor's State University field athletic teams? Let's have ESPN have us play them and Northeasy, hell throw in Roosevelt University and any other university that might as well cease to exist in there too.
