Theoretical question. Not sure if anyone has thought about this, but say a kid gets a COVID test on Wednesday, gets results on Thursday and they’re negative. If their team makes it to Sunday do they need to test again or will that negative take them through the Championship game?? I know no one probably has that answer, but just a thought.

The Covid protocols were not devised with a 4-day event in mind. So there may not be an answer to that question.
It was also discussed in this thread-

I can't believe they will require a second negative Covid test if someone attends each session, but their Covid page does not address that possibility.

For the record, I’ve tried every method under the sun to try to get some clarity from the Enterprise Center but have not had any responses other than other numbers or emails to contact, all with no luck.

Still going!

Our road to the championship will be no cake walk, but I’d love to be the team to send Loyola packing as they leave the conference.

Also, have sections been determined yet?

Yes, it'll be really tough. If Bradley wins and advances, and the other games play out as expected, Bradley would have to beat Loyola, UNI, and either Drake or Missouri State. I believe it can be done. Bradley has beaten Loyola, Drake (twice), and UNI this season. And they played well against MSU in Peoria.

Yes, Bradley has been assigned a section, but I don't know what it is.
Maybe someone who purchased All-Session tickets or single game tickets from the Bradley ticket office can tell what section they are in.
I bought tickets from a different source.

I think the top 6 seeds can win Arch Madness. No one is infallible but each team has a guy who can take over a game. Taking care of the ball has to be the #1 priority as all 6 teams can get after it on defense. I expect close games so better make FT's and you can't give up 2nd and 3rd chances. And as much as I hate to say it how the refs call each game could be a deciding factor. So looking forward to seeing it in person.

The Tournament Central website (https://mvc-sports.com/feature/22Arch) will have the schedule and links to Live Stats, box scores, and other useful sites.
However, it looks like it has not been updated yet and still shows just the generic bracket and schedule with no teams filled in-

Here are the final NET ranks for the MVC teams-

Bradley's NET is better than regular season champ UNI.

One other factor for those fans planning on going to St. Louis next Friday....
It looks like the weather will be terrific! You won't need to take your winter coats. Temperatures predicted to be in the 60's, and dropping into the 50's on Sunday. -

Is Friday’s game on TV?

The Thursday and Friday games are on the MVC-TV Network, which includes NBCSports Chicago and Bally Sports St. Louis.
The TV info for each game is always listed on the Bradley schedule page -
https://bradleybraves.com/sports/men...tball/schedule

We also always have TV info here on Bradleyfans-
https://www.bradleyfans.com/forum/sp...uis#post501924

Tickets are available from Ticketmaster (not a very good selection)-

And there may still be some tickets available through the Bradley ticket office in the assigned Bradley section-
Contact BradleyTicketOffice@bradley.edu or call (309) 677-2625

Also, have sections been determined yet?

I have done some digging and I am told by a usually reliable source that the Bradley sections includes section 113, and mid & upper rows of 114 and 115. The team benches are behind sections 102 & 104.

You'd think the MVC or the Bradley website would post the team section info, but they don't.
I can find any mention of Arch Madness individual game tickets anywhere on the Bradley website.

[houstonbrave]

Yes the Bradley app does say section 113, 114, 115. I purchased all session tix but don’t see them in the app yet.
