Bradley get two seperate paragraphs in today's Monday Look Back article
"Win to brag about - It didn't take long for the Missouri Valley Conference to start whipping folks again, did it? Bradley, without its top four scorers from last season, opened Saturday with a 78-58 drubbing of DePaul, proving that the MVC has again cracked the code of the RPI, just like all the BCS-conference mouth pieces suggested last season. The secret, if you're wondering, remains the same. It revolves around winning lots of games, including the ones against Big East schools (like DePaul) projected by most to make the NCAA Tournament."
With a nice little dig at all the whiners that say the MVC has cracked the RPI code:
"Final thoughts - Of all the games this weekend, the biggest stunner, even more so than Virginia over Arizona, was Bradley routing DePaul. Keep in mind, these are not the Braves you watched in the Sweet 16 last season. These Braves are missing big parts, including NBA lottery pick Patrick O'Bryant, and that's why they were picked eighth in the Missouri Valley Conference's preseason poll, which means the team picked eighth in the MVC just beat the team picked eighth in the Big East. By 20 points. I'm not sure what that means, really, but I know it doesn't make me look stupid for ranking three MVC schools (Wichita State, Creighton and Southern Illinois) in my preseason Top 25. And for that, to Bradley, I'd like to offer one more Led Zeppelin song."
