According to my Dish TV schedule it is on ESPN Full Court and Dish is giving a free preview from Jan 6 to Jan 12. So if you have any level of Dish Network you should be able to see this game on channel 464.

Thanks for the info!
The Bradley website lists no TV broadcasts available, but the MVC.org website says it is televised by KYTV and ESPN3.

KYTV is the NBC affiliated TV station in Springfield, Missouri.
ESPN3 has it on their schedule for Wednesday at 7:00 Central-

It does not appear this game is subject to blackout, so everyone should be able to see it free. A link will become available at game time.

I'm interested to see how Bradley players approach this game. They had great effort on Saturday. I'm a little concerned that it took a career by Lemon to put that game away. I hope someone helps him this game.

I thought everyone else played ok. Among the missed shots taken by everyone other than Walt, I think it would have been fair to expect 7 more points (3 more makes) than what they had.

Any word on KB's injury from last game?

[tornado]

I heard a report from today's practice that Bell's ankle sprain was doing OK but he has been limited in practice and will be a game-time decision tomorrow.
BTW - in the MVC phone teleconference Geno said he is going with the same starting lineup as Saturday - minus Bell - so it'll be Walt, Xzavier Taylor, Tyshon, Barnes, then likely Omari in place of Bell.

Don't forget - ZOOPERSTARS at halftime Wednesday...
