Bracketbuster game announced- BU to host Drexel

[Heemeskerk]

This will go a long way to prepare us for the big CBI or .com tournament in March!...IF we climb above .500

I would like to order my CBI tee, any ideas where I can get one pre-ordered? Can't wait.

Wait a second - I'm looking at the matchups. One after another. I don't see a mistake. ESPN didn't mess anything up. They're all.......good choices.

I don't get it. This is weird.

Agreed!

I didn't finish the rest of the TV games, thought someone else might pick up the slack.

Anyway - here's the rest of them:

New Mexico St at Pacific 10pm ESPNU

Wichita St at Utah St 11:59pm ESPN2

Here's Andy Katz review of the matchups:

Big game for WSU. A win could put them in good shape for the tourney. A loss likely knocks them out. This is what Bracketbusters was designed for.

Some early bubble teams could benefit from BB with a win:

44 Siena (road)
45 Old Dominion (road)
48 Wichita St. (road)
55 Utah St. (home)
56 Northeastern (home)

Bet you'll still watch perrenial losers like the Cubs and Bears every chance you get.

Yep...I have been cursed with being a Cubs, Bears, and BU fan all my life
and there have been plenty of days that folding socks was more exciting than watching the team(s) I am rooting for

[LittleBrave]

There is a recurring theme for all these teams this year - high expectations followed by underachievement. The Bears and Cubs shook up their staff after disappointing seasons. Maybe the same will happen with the Braves???

We still have a chance (slim) to find some good from this season for BU.
A winning season (above .500) is now what I'm hoping for. How pathetic.

[CubbieBear]

Pathetic is accurate A .500 year is about all we can hope for IMO...and we have never finished better than 4th in the Valley under Les...but that is the debate on another thread...

JL has won playoff games... when was the last time the cubs did that? (yes, I'm a cards fan)

This could be the one and only Sat night BU home game. My favorite. Hope they pick 7:00 PM. No riverman game on the schedule.

Announced tonight that it is a 7:05 PM game. Only Sat evening game in 2010 (so far).

SO that means they will shoot lights out from 3....go about 19-20 on free throws AND have about 12 assista with 1 turnover.

And that 8th player off the bench will go off for 40 points.

Career night.....

We do play 9 guys most nights and even 10 on some nights. There is only one player capable of scoring 40, and that has yet to happen in his young career. We have a ton of talent and balance, we just don't use it properly. Our fans are very excited about this matchup because the MVC is a worthwhile conference like the caa. So glad we didn't get the likes of Iona or Canisius etc. There will be a few travelling to chicago and then to peoria for the game. Our teams match up well and the matchup should be fun. We are a much different team at home than on the road, but we shall see. It is a shame we don't get you next year at home, since we will be better next year, most likely, as opposed to 2 years from now due to our current pg who is our leader is a junior.
