BracketBusters: Yea or Nay

[tornado]

OK - let's start by saying thus far today has been a GREAT BracketBuster day for the Valley...
exciting games, lots of Valley wins, and St. Mary's is exposing every flaw and weakness that Creighton has for all to see on National TV..
(might help someone in the MVC Tourney)

so -- all those debbie-downers from Gregg Marshall to message board posters who have griped about the BracketBusters and
whined that they hate it ought to apologize...it may just be the only factor that gets the Valley more than a single bid this year!

OK - vote

Its a good late season spot light on how your conference stacks up. MVC is showing we're above the rest of of the Mid-Majors.

Bad deal almost every year.

I like the BracketBuster in the absence of any alternative format. That said, changes need to be made.

I would love to see the MVC make a deal with some other conference now that the MWC wants out...
to keep giving us some quality matchups - maybe the A-10 or CAA

Many issues with B'busters since it expanded and now good teams are getting dropped out.
I have looked f/w to BU playing in these almost every year, and it's a chance to root for Valley teams 1 time during the conference season.
It had a good run and will miss it for a year or 2.

The fact that we've gotten play games in Chicago has been nothing but awesome for me, and for fellow Chicagoans.

I think overall it was a good experiment during its tenure, but it needs to change...or I guess be eliminated!

If there is an attractive Conference out there which would play the MVC, I'd say go for that.

If not, continue with the bracketbusters until BU gets good enough to be able to schedule a better non con late in the season... If BU gets better, they will get better bracket buster match ups in the future!

Nice to get a W in Chi Town today,
GO BU

Yes this would be my choice. Another thing that would be nice is if we could get a State of Illinois tournament.Maybe Illinois, Depaul and Northwestern would refuse. But it would still be nice with some of the others.

BracketBusters 2003 = awesome idea

BracketBusters 2013 = watered down

I like this idea, I'd make sure to make all the BU away games! I love games that take place in close proximity to each other. You can really get a rockin' visitor's section goin' if you do it right.
