Again, nothing official has been announced. However, when there were announcements about last year's Red-White being cancelled, there was talk that it would be resumed this fall at the new arena. I expect that to happen, but we'll probably have to wait a couple months for the official word.

It's now late June...Originally posted by BUfan14 View PostHaha I know, I just want my Braves to have the best season possible as we all do. I'm still in basketball mode, I have to remember it is only May lol. The excitement for next year is making me even more anxious though. I can barely contain myself I am so excited! That is why I am worried so early.
How does Duke sound for a schedule addition, BUfan14?
Bet you're bustin' at the seams now (along with many of us fans) to get the season underway!Comment

Our away/neutral schedule is looking pretty good, with USC, UMass, Drexel, WCU, and now Duke... but...
Do we have any confirmed home noncon games besides the 2 tournament home games, Northern Illinois, and Utah? If not, thats a pretty underwhelming home schedule.This is just the tip of the iceberg...

Meh average get at best not that excited still.....just kidding I'm really pumped up now!Originally posted by LittleBrave View Post
JL always comes through big in the scheduling department and I don't know how he does it. As a "mid-major" it must be unbelievably tough, yet every year he pulls out a surprise like this. A credit to him for sure. Great job JL and BU!Comment

Wait! Did I miss out on something?Originally posted by bugregshu View Post
I thought the Drexel game was most likely to be pushed back to the following season.
Is there a confirmation that we're playing them now?Comment

No. Drexel will be in 2011-2012.Comment

I'm SOOOOO ecstatic that we are Visiting Duke!!!
(Hopefully we can get a return game and a Home-Away Series w/ Butler!) I think we just blew the Valley and most Mid-Majors out of the water as far as SOS goes, now to just take advantage of that!
... At the end, of the storm, there's a golden sky. And the sweet silver song of the lark. Walk on, through the wind, walk on, through the rain, though your dreams be tossed, and blown. Walk on, Walk on with hope in your hearts, and you'll never walk alone!
I'm behind you 100% Bradley Braves, You'll Never Walk Alone! BEAT STATE!Comment

We still have a bit of work left to do to complete the schedule.
I'd hate to see us getting a great game @ Duke, followed by a couple cup-cake match-ups. Let's continue to get the toughest non-conf. schedule possible!
I know it's VERY difficult - let's get at least 1 more quality game...maybe at Carver.
We can't hinge our whole non-conf. schedule on playing Duke. Even if we make it close, we'll need a couple more quality wins to impress the committee.
The Western Carolina return game could loom large.Comment

I agree. We need at least one, if not two quality teams at home. If the big boys won't play us here, I'd like to see us snag one or two of the following at home:Originally posted by LittleBrave View Post
Dayton, Xavier, Temple, Charlotte, St. Mary's, Siena, Old Dominion (amongst two or three from the CAA), Kent St. (or whomever the MAC favorites will be), Tulsa, UTEP, Memphis, Utah St and Murray St, amongst others. I'm sure I'm missing a few other solid mid-majors, but these are the type of teams that would qualify as quality wins that would help enhance our non-conference resume. And I would not just stop with Utah from the MWC. Why not go for BYU again, or New Mexico St. as well?
This just goes to show that there are plenty of like-minded mid-majors that still maybe looking for a last minute game to fill out their schedules. Hopefully one of these teams will bite.Comment

Are you serious? It's my understanding that #1) we aren't gonna play the return game with Drexel til the following season, and #2) BracketBusters avoids matchups from the previous season.Originally posted by tornado View PostComment

I think he's saying these as two separate games MMob. So while I agree with your first point, I think all he's saying is that we 1) will have a road BB game against some opponent (not Drexel) and 2) there is the possibility of a return game to Drexel (however unlikely).Originally posted by MacabreMob View PostComment

correct...we will play a road BracketBuster game..
and we will also have a return game at Drexel but likely not until 2011-2012Comment

Wonder if this is gonna affect the return game vs. Drexel...Originally posted by tornado View Post
"Two members of Drexel University's men's basketball team ..
Jamie Harris and Kevin Phillip, stormed into a female Drexel student's
apartment on Wednesday night brandishing guns, expecting to score a big
stash of cash, police said. But the plan kind of fell apart -- the young woman
didn't have any money -- so Harris and Phillip grabbed her iPhone and took
off, police said. Their getaway was caught on tape."
Harris will be a senior, but might be penalized by sitting out this season, and Phillip will be a junior,
so how this case is handled might impact Bradley's return game vs. Drexel.Comment
