Does anyone know what section of seats Bradley is in. I'm looking to get two tickets, but I want to make sure I'm not on the other side of the arena. I was looking at getting the duece's wild package since it looks to be cheaper than the actually ticket price and it comes with a beer and hot dog.

The visitor bench is in front of Section 102, but once in the lower bowl - it would be possible to find an alternate seat if you do so discreetly

But there were Bradley fans scattered in almost every section

[Da Coach]

Most of Bradley fans, those who bought their tickets through the Bradley ticket office were in sections 117, 118, & 119 in the club level (rows BB through HH just below the suites).
But there were also many fans in section 102 behind the Bradley (visitors)bench.


I checked with the box office after the game to see if I could buy tickets for people coming tomorrow, but they only had end zone tickets. There will be street sellers who probably have better tickets.

Let’s get it done boys!!!!! One game at a time but 2 from a bid!!!!!

[Go_Braves]

Let's end this Loyola Cinderella story.

[bigjimmy]

Survive and advance is where we’re at. That’s the attitude we have to have. Time for us to get a little payback from last Saturday and last year’s semi finals. Bring it hard all game long boys. LET’S DO THIS! GET ER DONE!

[Go_Braves]

I am going to so enjoy today's Semi-Final game against Loyola. After yesterday's game I just need to pick up a defibrillator

.

Anybody remember North Carolina State's Wolfpack - Cardiac Kids? Clear - LOL - GO BRADLEY.

We have to play Loyala and Wichita State?! That’s going to be tough. Haha

Anyone know if I can watch a replay or recording of the game?
I will be unavailable during the game and want to watch this evening.
Thanks!

[Da Coach]

Today's game will be on CBSSports Network. Do you have cable? Can you set your DVR to record?
I don't know if they will have replays available anywhere online, and their broadcast schedule does not show a replay of the game at any time after the live broadcast.

I thought we played pretty good yesterday, a B outing. But today we need the A game. 2 of the last 3 games that Loyola beat us, they shot around 58 percent. We have to keep them no higher than mid 40's range. Play hard, play smart. Go Bradley
