Thanks LTF!
I renewed my subscription to ESPN+ tonight to be able to watch the game tomorrow. We're having a private watch party with a bunch of other Bradley fans. I wish I could have made it to game in Philadelphia, but maybe next time.
It is amazing how many games are available to watch each night, including a number of Bradley women's games, games involving other MVC teams, lots of other college games, and thousands of other sports events. It is a deal that is well worth it to a sports nut like me.
By the way, here is my preview of Tuesday's game one more time, which I posted last week-

And despite another source erroneously reporting- "It’s the first time in 35 years that college coaching icon Phil Martelli, who was dismissed last spring, hasn’t been the program’s head coach"..., Martelli was the head coach at St. Joseph's for only the last 24 years, as I said in my preview.
One more day. Go Braves.Comment

The broadcast team will be Matt Martucci and Joe Lunardi. The game will be broadcast in the Philadelphia area on NBC Sports Philadelphia+, and their broadcast will be picked up and streamed by ESPN+.
Matt Martucci is the regular play-by-play voice for the St. Joseph's Hawks, and has been doing their TV broadcasts for the past 11 years-
Joe Lunardi is more widely known for his ESPN Bracketology. He is a St. Joseph's alum and works as Assistant Vice President of Marketing Communications at St. Joseph's University. He has been the color commentator with Matt Martucci since they began doing game broadcasts together in 2009.
Interestingly, St. Joseph's no longer has radio broadcasts, but they have their audio stream available on Tune-In Radio.Comment

BU/SJU listed as one of 10 best ESPN+ opening week games:
10. Bradley Braves at Saint Joseph's Hawks (Tuesday, 7 p.m. ET)
Following an NCAA tournament appearance in which they gave Michigan State a scare in the opening round, Bradley returns four of its top five scorers including senior guard Darrell Brown. The Braves have higher goals this season with limited chances to beef up their résumé.
Later in the nonconference schedule, Brian Wardle's squad faces Northwestern in the Fort Myers Tip-Off, will play either Pittsburgh or Kansas State in the next round and will travel to No. 14 Memphis. Other than those three matchups, Bradley doesn't face a ranked or Power 5 opponent for the remainder of the regular season and plays just two nonconference road games.
Saint Joseph's, meanwhile, begins the Billy Lange era after the school fired Phil Martelli in March. The Hawks are projected to finish 13th in the Atlantic 10 preseason coaches poll after losing Charlie Brown Jr. and Lamarr Kimble.

I'm excited about this season more than I have been in years. I'm definitely watching tonight. Also super interested in the newcomers especially Stephen Gabriel and Ville.Comment

Like so many others - I am just "SO FIRED UP" to finally be able to watch this years Bradley Basketball team in action. After last years ending to the regular season, the MVC tournament, and the NCAA first round - I wanted more - and well - I just had to wait. It truly excites me to view what others are saying about the crop of new players for this season. Less than - 5 hours and counting. Looking forward to seeing everyone on the Bradley chat room. GO BRAVES ...Comment

Here's to a healthy and successful season for the Braves! Time to tip it up!Comment

I’m always excited about the start of a new season but this year’s season might have as much anticipation and optimism since the 05-06 season. Maybe even the 85-86 season. The returning players seem to have gained a lot of confidence from last seasons post season run and this might be one the best class of newcomers in some time. 1st games can be tricky especially since St Joe’s is playing their 1st game under a new coach so we just need to establish ourselves early and often and don’t give them any confidence about winning this one. Pull them laces tight boys and kick ass. GO BU BABY!Comment

Bradley leads St. Joseph's at halftime 45-43.
Stats-
Bradley has played well offensively, but defense leaves a bit to be desired. And we have to stop fouling. SJU is 10-11 from the FT line.
Bradley has been called for 14 fouls to just 4 for St. Joseph's. Most of the calls on Bradley were deserved, but a couple were gifts to SJU.

Halftime... Pretty one-sided with the fouls. They are calling everything on us. Hope we can clamp down on them defensively in the 2nd half and use our superior athleticism off the dribble. Brown with two fouls, can't have him in foul trouble. Gabriel forcing things too much. Bet we have a shorter bench in 2nd half. Let Ville chuck em up. Love watching him shoot.Comment

St. Josephs a better team than expected... good shooting team.Comment

Disappointing loss in a game that they should have won. But I am confidant Bradley will bounce back.
Final score- St. Joseph's 86 Bradley 81
