Dave confirms what is reported on BradleyFans, that Brandon Hawkins (Hersey's oldest son) did not make the trip to Peoria and is not with the team.



Also, an article from the Stockton, Claifornia paper-
Tigers continue journey

The Pacific team took nearly 14 hours to travel from Stockton, CA to Peoria.



And, Bradley is getting more coverage from Chicago media- here is a Tribune article-

I'm going to miss this one. Getting married in a couple of days, and that means I'm going to have to miss my first game of the year taking care of some wedding business. I hope they take care of business against Pacific so I get another shot at another game. It looks like Pacific won't be quite the challenge Oakland was, but the Braves need to make sure to take care of business.

Btw, anyone know or have theories as to why Hawk the Younger isn't travelling with Pacific?

Purely a theory, he has left the team and school!

[shaunguth]

My prediction....

68 - Pacific
69 - Bradley

[Rusty 54]

My prediction....

68 - Pacific
69 - Bradley

On a last second shot?

[thefish7]

I'm guessing a David Collins 77 ft shot that bounces once in the paint before going through the net.

[ER3]

Double digit loss to Cal Poly? That hurts... That hurts really bad.

Yep...about as much as a double digit loss to UMKC does.

[shaunguth]

On a last second shot?

How's about a last second miss this time!

[pfunk880]

Can't wait to hear the roar of the crowd when Roberts' name gets called during the player introductions.

[jeffsu]

I'm guessing this is a "No means no" situation...

...but was there even the local Comcast feed of the game on Monday? I thought someone said they watched it. But then again, with all of that work to get the tape to ESPN, I'm guessing there really wasn't any. And I'll have to hit the radio for this one...

I'm not predicting diddly squat for this game but........................ I think Pacific comes into Peoria with some MAJOR jet lag and BU jumps to an early lead and coasts to an easy win.

BU 76
Pacific 61

Good call.......

[DUBrave5]

I really hope my 5:30 to 6:45 class gets out early so I can make it to introductions. Soon as that class lets out, I will be in my car and on my way to the Civic Center.
