      Obviously Chris Lowery is working during the strike...

      its only the tenure track faculty on strike, and even then not all the tenure track faculty are honoring the strike. also, Lowery isn't considered faculty. Classes are being covered by deans, emeritus faculty, and non striking faculty. Some siu faculty are even trying to de-certify the current faculty association and replace it with new repersentation

        3K attendance - good for an exhibition game - was it part of the season package?

          It was. ISU still only counts people actually at the game ("butts in the seats")

          Ekey played the most minutes with 23. 5 others had 20 minutes of game tie (Carmichael, Wilkins, Threloff, Cousin, and Nic Moore)

            I think t needs to find those people and personally tell them how he feels. How dare he bring it up on a public message board?

                I understand Shaun but to me it didn't make any sense. No big deal. He thought what Chris Roberts did and Greg Lansing did was classless and running up the score. I disagreed. No big deal. Also no one was "lauding" Greg Lansing.

                I've made my feelings known on the running up the score debate at the NCAA D1 level. As I've said--ask the players about it. They NEVER want a team to take it easy on them in a game. NEVER. At least not ones that are worth having.

                  That is a great number for an exhibition game, especially for a team that tied for last place and playing on Sunday when everyone would supposedly rather be somewhere else watching their fantasy football teams. Then again....maybe that's just Bradley fans that don't like Sunday afternoon basketball.

                      I'm not sure which part you're questioning.

                      That IS a great number for an exhibition game for a team that tied for last place.

                      The game was on Sunday afternoon.

                      I've heard from numerous people that games should not be scheduled on Sunday afternoons.

                      The main reason those people give is because the NFL plays on Sunday and a good number of people would rather be somewhere watching the NFL (and their fantasy football teams).

                      Those people are Bradley fans.

                        I Huhed the part about the fantasy football teams and Sunday games. I haven't heard from any Bradley fans would prefer being at home watching their fantasy football teams over going to a Live Bradley basketball game.

                        You need to find more dedicated friends then

                          I never said they were friends. They have posted here at times as well as elsewhere. I happen to agree, especially if those people are capable of recording the NFL game(s) for a few hours.

                            Oh Ok. With today's technology...DVR, smart phones, etc. people shouldn't really "miss" anything really. I have a fantasy football team but there are at least 8 media timeouts and halftime during a Bradley game I can check their results on my cell phone if I'm that worried about it....which I'm usually not.

                              Again....I completely agree. I would much rather be at a Bradley game, unless I actually had a ticket to an NFL game. For the record, on another board there seems to be a group of people that want a Bradley gametime changed just because the Bears moved their game into the Bradley timeslot.

                                Really? That's just silly. There is no way a game will be changed after it's on the schedule for something like a conflict with a football game.
                                If it was moved to an earlier time, there would be a lot of people who would miss it because they have Sunday church services. If it was moved later, it still would conflict with the end of the football game. And there are way too many factors preventing them from changing dates easily.
