[Da Coach]

Thanks to Bobby Parker, I have learned that every day is local media day for Bradley Basketball this season, meaning that there is not one specific day Media Day. Bradley's SID office has distributed a press conference schedule for the remainder of the 2011 calendar and the team??™s weekly practice schedule to all the local media outlets. They are welcome to attend virtually any practice for interviews, and many of the local media members have already been at the Renaissance Coliseum for interviews and videos.

The Missouri Valley Conference Media Day is Tuesday, October 25 in St. Louis.

It looks like Dillard is getting the last laugh as he was just named Old Spice Classic MVP. He led Dayton to the championship over Minnesota.
