Yes, I actually talked to Coach Adams about this last week. St. Louis is looking for a Quadrant 1 matchup, but isn't everyone? Bradley could likely be a Quadrant 1 team next season. Bradley would love a home and home with former MVC foe St. Louis (they were in the MVC from 1937-1974), but so far no response from them. Let's hope something develops. -
I am guessing they will not be interested in this. Bradley probably doesn't carry the cachet they are looking for (plus it would likely be an L for them at our place).Originally posted by Da Coach View PostComment

https://basketballtravelers.com/news...announced.aspx
And a home game vs. South Dakota State- date unknown
So far: 3 home games, 3 road games, and 3 neutral site games.
There will probably be 4 more non-conference games yet to be announced, and at least 3 and probably all 4 will be home games.
Last season, Bradley played 8 home non-conference games (17 total home games), and in 2018-19 they played 7 non-conference home games and 16 home games total. As of now, we are at 3 home games for 2020-21 (St. Joseph's, Miami (Ohio), and South Dakota State).
Then an 18 game MVC schedule starting from December, 2020 to late February, 2021

Evansville releases its non-con schedule:
My first BU hoops game was on 12/30/1963. My dad took me to watch the Braves defeat Arizona 67-59. He helped me get Coach Orsborn's autograph before the game.Comment

That is a decent non-conference schedule, though not the best home slate for their fans (if there are fans). They have a chance at quadrant 1 opponents in Purdue, SMU, and Belmont, although all 3 were just outside quadrant 1 last season. They only have 5 non-conference home games, and only Belmont had a decent RPI last season (Belmont-83, EIU-265, Tenn Tech-319, IUPUI-334, SEMO-350). The best games are the home & home with Belmont (RPI 83), the Ohio Valley Champion, and the road games against Purdue (RPI 96) and SMU (RPI 89).Originally posted by 64NIT View Post
The Dana Point Challenge includes Fresno State (last year RPI 231), Pepperdine (last year RPI 130) and Oakland (last year RPI 236), in addition to Evansville.
The SMU and Ball State games are return games. Last season, they lost at home to SMU 59-57, and beat Ball State at home 79-75.

Thanks for finding!
Updated schedule so far. Not all these dates and games are official yet, and early games may need to be cancelled or rescheduled if the NCAA moves the season start date back-
Probably early November- Home game vs. St. Joseph's (return game from last season)
Saturday, November 14, 2020- Road game at Toledo (return game from last season)
Sunday, November 29, 2020- Road game at Missouri (this is a one-time "buy game")

And a home game vs. South Dakota State- date unknown
So far: 4 home games, 3 road games, and 3 neutral site games.
There could be as many as 3 more non-conference games yet to be announced, and there is a good chance 2 or all 3 will be home games.
Last season, Bradley played 8 home non-conference games (17 total home games), and in 2018-19 they played 7 non-conference home games and 16 home games total. As of now, we are at 4 home games for 2020-21 (St. Joseph's, Miami (Ohio), South Dakota State, and Jackson State).Comment

Is it just me or are we going to smoke the field at the Paradise Jam?Larry Bird
I've got a theory that if you give 100 percent all of the time, somehow things will work out in the end.Comment

The MVC will start their conference games Dec. 30-
This gives Valley teams only 5 weeks to play their entire non-conference schedule.

The Bradley men's basketball MVC schedule was just released-
In addition, the PJ Star has a new article with additional information about the team.
The Bradley basketball team will start practicing again following the campus-wide quarantine that was imposed 2 weeks ago.
And, according to Coach Wardle, everyone is healthy-
A couple significant points-- Bradley is still working hard to complete their non-conference schedule- it could include up to 6 non-conference games plus a 3-game Multi-Team Event (a total of 9 non-conference games is now the maximum)
- Bradley wants to remain committed to the Paradise Jam (tentatively relocated to Washington DC- dates unknown), but will keep their options open in case the new rescheduled dates don't work out
- There are many other Multi-Team Events that are still looking for additional participants, so Bradley still could switch
- Wardle hopes to keep the nonconference games already contracted this season - road games at Toledo, Missouri and Tulsa & home games against Miami (Ohio), Saint Joseph and South Dakota State. But the dates could change.
- Wardle’s goal is to have the full schedule completed by mid-October when official practice begins.

Most of the Paradise Jam teams have reportedly opted out of the tournament. The organizers are trying to salvage the event, but moving it to Washington DC seems like the stupidest thing they could have done. Who the hell wants to play a tournament in DC, when there are lots of warm weather events available. It almost seems like whoever made that decision was trying to sabotage it.

The best thing about the Paradise Jam was the location anyway and now that it's in DC I wouldn't miss it. Here are some tournaments with openings in better locations--
Hall of Fame Classic in KC w/ TCU, South Carolina, NW
Cancun Challenge in Melbourne FL w/ Purdue, Clemson, Mississippi State (ISU just opted out for some reason)
Las Vegas Invitational w/ New Mexico, Santa Clara, Grand Canyon
Wooden Legacy in Anaheim w/ Kansas, Virginia, UCLA
MGM Resorts Invitational- Arkansas, San Francisco, Colorado StateBRADLEY BASKETBALL
