PEORIA, Ill. -- Just hours after learning it would not play in the NCAA Tournament, Bradley (21-12) was rewarded with a first-round home game in the 2007 MasterCard National Invitation Tournament and the fourth-seeded Braves will host Big East member Providence (18-12) Wednesday night at Carver Arena.? Wednesday's game was not picked for broadcast on the ESPN family of networks and will tip at 7:05 p.m. (CDT).? Bradley is making its 21st appearance in the NIT, second-most in tournament history to the 27 appearances by St. John's.? Bradley also is second all-time with four NIT championships (1957, 1960, 1964 and 1982) and fourth with 25 NIT victories.? Providence also owns a proud NIT history.? The Friars are making their 17th NIT appearance, boasting two titles (1961 and 1963) and ranking third all-time with 30 NIT victories.? The Braves are 3-0 all-time against Providence, including an 88-72 win in the championship game of the 1960 NIT at Madison Square Garden.
The time and location of the next game would be dependent whether Bradley wins (of course), and who their opponent would be. But it does look like the NIT has already assigned Saturday, March 17 as the 2nd round date forr the winners of the frist round games in Bradley's corner of the bracket.

Some had predicted 2 and maybe 3 home games, however if we win and play Saturday, it obviously won't be a home game.
Lift up your hearts and sing, lift up thy light

Red for courage, strength and right
White for purity
Shining as a beacon light
For the University
Go onward, ever onward
Let courage and truth prevail
To Bradley University
All Hail! Hail! Hail!
looks like the braves have a good chance to showcase themselves in front of the "power" conferences. if we win we'll have big east, sec (mississippi st.), and acc (FSU).

Couldn't it still be a home team if the 8 seed beats the 1 in the other game? This isn't the big dance where it's automatic for the 1 seed to win thier opener
that's the way i've interpreted it, maybe msu may be down having not made the tourney. then we could get another home game for this fun team to watch
I think MSU is a very beatable team on the road. I don't think they are that much better than teams like VCU. I could see a long run in the tourney for us.
Of course, if Miss Valley St beats MSU, that should make things easier for us!

I think the post was referring to the date that has been listed here rather than the possible opponent. We'd have a hard time fitting a home game in sometime this coming weekend! Unless....of course......nnnahhhh......it would be silly of me to mention a going away party for the Fieldhouse!
I was under the impression that if we won our game and MVS won theirs, then our 2nd round game would be here on March 19 since that's our only available date at CA. The dates listed for second round games are March 15, 16, 17 & 19.
