Bradley's non-conf. schedule

[IlliBraves]

How many games do you think the Braves will win? Obviously, I anticipate a big win over SIUE tomorrow. I think the Braves can beat UIC, but the game could be closer than expected. Rutgers could be a toss up, but with basically home court advantage, I think the Braves will take another Big East opponent. Expect BU to play the Illini, and although they keep it close, the Illini pull it out in a rebuilding year (Love for the Illini, too ) FAMU and TTU will be easy wins. I think Bradley will beat either MSU or Iowa State, but not both, this may be a stretch since both are on the road, but ISU is nothing special and MSU lost its best player. The rest is a fairly easy schedule.

For some reason I don't expect SIU-E to be an EASY win. They will play TEAM ball and have their top guys back

i think if we go 9-3 in onon conference it will be considered a success

i think we should beat iowa st but mich st and the illini are going to be very tough and rutgers is a toss up

we SHOULD win all our non conference home games which would put us at least 7-5... sneak in a 2-3 or possibly 3-2 on the road/nuetral court, and we are off to a good start to the valley season with a 9-3 or 10-2 start

The Tennessee Tech game worries me a bit. They lose 3 starters of a 19-12 team, but they are otherwise still very experienced, and are predicted to finish second in the Ohio Valley Conference (behind Samford as perennial OVC power Murray State is undergoing a MAJOR rebuilding year this year).

I otherwise agree with you that Iowa St is very beatable, but the others could present a problem. Anyway, 8-4 or better would be a decent OOC record, though 9-3 and 10-2 are doable.

13-0 including a road win in the BracketBuster on 2/17.

Agreed. On Saturday, SIUE beat Nebraska at Nebraska 54-50.
