Im sure this has been brought up before but why doesn't Bradley ever schedule non-conf. games against SLU? They seem like a similar team that would be a solid non-conference opponent that would help BU.

The previous SLU coach, Brad Soderberg, did not want to play regional schools that he considered competetion for recruits. I am not sure about Majerus, but he did schedule SIU, so maybe something can develop with Bradley? -
I was wondering who is on bradley's schedule so far for next year and if we are playing in any tournaments next year?Comment

Bradley is in the Las Vegas Invitational next year. 2 home games against some "easier" teams, then will face 2 of 3 in Las Vegas of Utah, Oklahoma St, and UIUC (but UIUC has been predetermined to be on the other side of the bracket).Originally posted by bball24 View PostComment

No games are really set yet.
Also... I think we are supposed to play at Iowa State, at Butler (but I thought I heard that series might get postponed for a year), and I guess Loyola is supposed to return a game for the BracketBuster game this season.Comment

alright sounds like a good start to scheduling. I wonder if we could get a team like Dayton or Xavier on the schedule or a couple of teams from quality mid major to major basketball teamsComment

This is what it seems like to me:
HOME
Loyola
BracketBuster
Vegas Cupcake #1
Vegas Cupcake #2
NEUTRAL
Utah/Oklahoma St (Vegas)
Utah/Oklahoma St/Illinois/random fodder (Vegas)
ROAD
BYU
Iowa St?
Butler?
By my flawed math, that's 3 open spots if we stick with those potential road games. We absolutely would have to get a home game against the best available team.....try to invest in another 2-for-1 with a big school like Michigan St....and for the love of God, if I see 3 Horizon teams on the schedule, I will punch this schedule in the face.Comment

BYU is always a team that is very competitive and should be a good team to play against next year. I agree that we do schedule way to many teams from the horizon league and think we should try to schedule teams from possibly the A-10, MWC, and WCC.Comment

Tks TAS... dummy me... forgot about the MVC/MWC Challenge at BYU.

I hope we get Utah. Not only are they a good team, I'd like to get to see Marshall Henderson play. We won't get many games from them on TV and I'd like to see how a former recruit's game looks.Comment

I thought that this was already determined and that we will be playing BYU. Anyone really know!Originally posted by lake Camelot View Post

Considering we have the MWC/MVC challenge, the MWC is sorta taken care of.Originally posted by bball24 View PostComment

SFP-Yes we go out to BYU in our game in the MW/MVC Challenge at the beginning of the season and then return to Vegas on Fri/Sat after Thanksgiving and play either Utah or Ok State in the first game of the Vegas tournament.houstonbraveComment

Wow, this could end up looking like a pretty good non-con...if we end up playing Ok St, Illinois, Butler, BYU, and Iowa St I would be very happy. Each could be an at-large tourney team next year as well as an RPI top 50. Iowa St has been bad the past few years, but they have most of the team back and some talent coming in (including Chris Colvin for those who remember BU going after him). And Butler loses nobody. Illinois loses some quality seniors, but have a heck of a recruiting class coming in.Originally posted by TheAsianSensation View Post
If we could add just one more game along the lines of a Dayton, Xavier, Western Kentucky, etc at home we could really have a nice schedule even after the filler teams are added in...maybe we'll get a crack at Utah Valley or NJIT next year!#DunkOnYouComment

BYU plays in the Marriott Center, a 22,700 seat arena on the campus of BYU.They have a huge advantage at the Marriott Center over the years. Their winning percentage at home in the 38 seasons they have played there is almost 80%.Originally posted by bball24 View Post
This year they are 25-6 and play in the semifinal of the MWC Tournament against San Diego State today.They are 14-2 at home this season, and 125-12 (.912 winning pct) at home over the past 9 seasons.
They have 3 players averaging 16.2 ppg or more-
Lee Cummard- 17.0 ppg - is a senior and will be gone next year. He might be drafted by the NBA.
Jonathan Tavernari- 16.2 ppg - is a 6-6 G/F from Brazil, who is a junior and will return.
Jimmer Fredette- 16.2 ppg - is a 6-2 guard who is a sophomore and will return.
BYU Stats- http://www.byucougars.com/uploads/st...ll_m/stats.pdf
They only lose 2 other seniors who are insignificant, and average 2.6 ppg and 2.8 ppg, so they could return around 72% of their scoring next year.
Bradley will be a huge underdog in this game.
