Bradley will be a hotly discussed team on Selection Sunday.... The coaching job by Jim Les has been largely overlooked with all the other storylines in the league, but he should've gotten greater consideration for The Valley's top coaching award after finding a way to win without the main pieces from last year's Sweet 16 team. I'm not sure an RPI of 43 is enough.
But this part of the report about Bradley was what I found funny--
Aside from the basketball, the Bradley students scored major points by chanting "please don't drop her" when Southern Illinois held its cheerleaders in the air. If you remember, SIU cheerleader Kristi Yamaoka fell from the top of a formation and had to be taken from the floor in a neck brace. But hey, she cheered as she went off the floor, and she's fine today, so we can laugh.
