Question

When is BU's trip to Las Vegas this year and who else is in it? I am thinking about trying to go.

Bradley is playing 2 games in the Las Vegas Invitational on November 27th-28th. The field is Bradley, Oklahoma State, Utah, and Illinois, with Illinois and Bradley on opposite sides of the bracket. That most likely means that we will play Oklahoma State first round, and then get the winner of Illinois/Utah.

I like the way you think positively! But anyway, if we lose the first game we play - we will play the loser of the Illinois/Utah game the next day and that could also be Illinois too. Anyway, if mexicobufan goes - he is going to see four good basketball teams play twice in two days. And no matter what happens we will have played two good teams - I hope we win them both!

I don't think they are going to seed the teams until after the 2 home games all four play against other teams in the tournament. Whoever they determine the weaker seed (Oklahoma State or Utah) to be, will be given to Illinois - that's just the way things are and we can't really argue about that.

And it is not yet determined whether Bradley will play Utah or Oklahoma State. That will not be announced until probably August or September.

The games will be played at the Orleans Arena on Friday night, Nov. 27 and Saturday night, Nov. 28th.
