Next game- Bradley vs. Drake Thursday, March 1, at Scottrade Center St. Louis in MVC Tournament

[Da Coach]

Bradley's next game is Thursday, March 1, at the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament at 8:30 PM. It features the #7 seed Drake Bulldogs vs. the #10 seed Bradley Braves.

This will be the 3rd time Bradley and Drake have played this season.
The first game was on January 10 at Drake. Drake won 82-74-

The second game was February 15 at Carver Arena. That was the game Bradley shot 0-20 from three to lose 62-55.

It is also the game in which Taylor Brown injured his toe and he has not played since. He is unlikely to play in Thursday's game.

May switch day off and run down for the game...if anyone runs across xtra tix let me know...

[Da Coach]

I just checked Ebay and StubHub, and there isn't much available there. I doubt you'll find many Bradley fans that bought tickets, but there will be a lot of tickets available from fans of other teams who are not playing Thursday. They usually will be near the Scottrade Center Thursday before the first game with tickets to sell.

The schedule also says this will be shown on the MVC TV network. I think in years past the play in games wasn't on TV if I remember right.

By all searches I've done, the game WILL indeed be shown on the MVC TV network.
They did this last season for the 1st time I can remember. ALL Arch Madness games will be televised!

In the Chicago area, Games 3 and 4 on Friday will be on tape delay - shown on Sat. morning at 12:30 a.m. and 2:30 a.m. So Chicago-area BU fans will have to wait (in Chicago) to see Bradley beat Creighton in 2nd round!

The release includes some television info related to Thursday night's MVC-TV broadcast, as well as a link to Bradley's first-round game notes package.

Also, the Braves Club is not sponsoring a pregame party Thursday night, but will host pregame parties at J-Bucks beginning two hours prior to any subsequent Bradley games. For Thursday night, fans are encouraged to stop by the Renaissance Grand for a team sendoff prior to the game. The team is expected to depart at about 7 o'clock.

The team is on the way to St. Louis- left about an hour ago.
Go BU!

[Da Coach]

If there was any question about Taylor Brown's chances of playing tomorrow, they seem to be answered tonight. According to this article by Dave Reynolds from St. Louis, Taylor is definitely out-

Bradley will again be without Brown, who has missed the last three games and hasn??™t attempted to practice since last week. He is nursing a partially torn ligament in his right big toe.

[LittleBrave]

My gut feeling is this will be a very very tough game for BU.
At least we've had a few games now to figure out how to score with Taylor.

Guys like JP and JE will really have to step up tonight and give us scoring production. We need at least 15 points from them combined.
And then Walt and DSE need to score like they have lately.

Seems everything will have to go right for BU to win.
From what I recall from our 2 previous games vs. the Bulldogs, they have outhustled and outmuscled us on the boards. That can't happen tonight.

[real fan]

The team should have 1 thing on their mind, win and you get to stay for another day, lose and you go home.
