Some interesting talk on the DePaul board

"Why is it that Bradley has DePaul's number?"

Here are some comments,

Without a lot of talent? We've got 4 guys from last season playing pro or semi-pro basketball!

Semi-pro? Who's playing semi-pro?

[Big Mike]

Tony Bennett...........ABA chicago?

That's not semi-pro, is it? I was under the impression that the ABA paid its players a set rate.

The minor leagues are still professional. Semi-pro clubs would give its players a percentage of the gate, and probably make them pay for their own uniforms and equipment. Playing semi-pro ball often costs you money....

You're all going down!!!

As the author of the 'Why does Bradley have our number' thread, you are pretty aware that I have a great deal of respect for Bradley. While doing the preview for the game and the head to head matchup's it would seem that DePaul on paper has a distinct advantage, but can not say I am confident that a DePaul victory is assured. I enjoy Daniel Ruffin's play, and Andrews is going to be a matchup problem for Green.

Secondly, I do not think those who are keyed into college basketball are overlooking this game. Quite simply, of the DePaul fans I have spoken with, they are surely not confident in a DePaul victory. Like I stated time and time again... you have DePaul's number of late.

Freshjive, we likewise have a great deal of respect for DePaul and many BU fans have grown to appreciate the BU-DePaul rivalry as perhaps the best non-conference battle.

If you are at the Carver Arena in Peoria on Saturday, look me up, I'll PM you with my seat location.
But you will be badgered by the folks in attendance to wear red or get "good-naturedly harrassed".

Here are links to the DePaul previews of Bradley

This one is courtesy of Freshjive, and I will quote sparingly since I really think this is such a well done preview, you should go there yourself!
He gives the edge at PG and C to Bradley (Ruffin over Currie, Andrews over Green)
and gives the edge to Depaul at PF, SG, SF, and bench. (Chandler over Salley, Clarke over Crouch, Mejia over Tauai)
He also gives the intangibles to DePaul, but Freshjive remember that Bradley holds an all time 80%+ winning pct. at home, and a 17 game nonconference home winning streak!

This one is a nice overall report by Scott Phillips, and says the stuff we all know about BU, plus has an interview with coach Jerry Wainwright asking questions about the game and the BU team and health status of his own team.
.....and they have a nice LINK to our site here at BradleyFans.com.

If there are any Bradley fans who can't get enough of "Quick Change", someone PM'ed me this YouTube link to an appearance they made earlier this year on America's Got Talent

Well, a lot of BU threes were going down, and so did DePaul.
Great game for the Braves!
