Bradley's first exhibition game is Monday, October 29 against Upper Iowa University at the Bradley Renaissance Coliseum. The game is at 7:00pm and is broadcast by WMBD radio 1470.
Upper Iowa is a Division II school located in Fayette, Iowa. They were 10-16 last year, and 7-15 in the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference.
They were picked 12th this year in the preseason NSIC poll-

Bobby- I notice the PDF Game Notes now include the personal information of all the players. Great work, as usual.

However, the link to the online 2012-2013 Prospectus is still incomplete, and ends at page 10, and does not include the personal profiles of any of the new guys.-

What do you mean B4L?
They have played about 15 games already, they have better shooters because they are from Iowa, and they have more seniors that start that we do! O.k. - I'm just making that totally up, but I'm working hard on finding a good excuse!

At any rate, this is the biggest preseason game of Geno's tenure for sure!

I agree. It is critical to changing the mindset and culture of the players and fans at BU.

Pregame time

[Da Coach]

Bradley playing a lot with 4 guards (Bell, DSE, JE, and WL) and getting beaten badly on the boards.

Sloppy game so far it sounds like. Egolf has 10, including a 3, to lead the Braves. Braves lead at the half 31-28.

How is the crowd?

Crowd is a bit disappointing. I count about 600-700. I can post pics later.

[Da Coach]

Bradley shooting well...52% overall and 56% on threes. But a lot of turnovers and outrebounded 15-6!
