They have a preview of BU on the BlueDemonsNation.com site, always a great place to keep up with DePaul hoops, Chicago area and Illinois topics, and recruiting.
Here is another nice article that reviews all the Valley teams with a special emphasis on a long review of Indiana State.
They seem inclined that this will be Royce Waltmen's last year.
Here's a clip about Bradley:
"Bradley ???‚¬??? Who are these guys? At long last, the Braves lived up to their potential and made a memorable NCAA Sweet 16 run last March. But nearly every major component of that team is gone ???‚¬??? including 7-foot center Patrick O???‚¬?„?Bryant who was a NBA lottery pick. Marcellus Sommerville, Lawrence Wright and Tony Bennett also graduated. The Braves suffered a blow when guard Ray Brown was suspended for the season for a positive marijuana test. Tough-as-nails J.J. Tauai, point guard Daniel Ruffin, and swingman Zach Andrews are the only Braves returning with any significant experience, beyond that, it???‚¬?„?s a crapshoot of JUCOs, transfers and incoming freshmen. Coach Jim Les will need to do his best coaching job to keep the good times rolling at Carver Arena."
I guess they must be referring to Will Franklin, Matt Salley, Jeremy Crouch, Sam Singh, Danny Adams, etc. as
" ...a crapshoot of JUCOs, transfers and incoming freshmen"...?
The author, Nathan Wollack, predicts a win by DePaul over BU.
Doesn't Nathan know we serve Home-Cooking at PCC?
Yes I do.... I said it in the preview, DePaul on paper has more talent, but the team has had it's share of bad starts over the past few years. Ruffin scares me as a player, because he is extremely good and quite underrated. I just feel that the lack of experience of the likely starters for Bradley will allow DePaul to overcome the homecourt advantage.

Btw FreshJive, good luck on your killer schedule. Will be rooting for you against Evil Empires Kansas and Kentucky as well as in big games with Wake Forest and Cal. Be nice if you win Maui (with UCLA, Oklahoma, Ga Tech and Purdue as possible opponents).
It would be a good move for BU to get as many recruits that BU is battling DePaul for to attend this game.
I think it would be to BU's advantage to let the recruits compare a "sold out" BU home game where the fans are going nuts to whatever home game DePaul invites them to that will be played in a semi-empty arena.
