I'm not 100% sure but in the latest ESPN Bracetology that was updated on the 27th Bradley's name was included for the first time. They were given the 13 seed, as the automatic qualifier from the MVC, with an up arrow and would play North Carolina in Orlando, Florida in the West Region. Drake had always been listed I think up til now. Other seeded teams that BU has played that are listed are Arkansas at #3, Auburn at #6, Utah State at #11 in a play in game, Liberty at #14 and SIU Edwardsville at #15.

Yes, BU has been getting inserted into a lot of bracketology analysis' over the past week or so.Thinking is the hardest work, that is why so few people do it. -Henry Ford
Yeah...I've been in college for a while now and I'm pretty sure that awesomest is not a word. -Andrew E. -

NCAA Bracketology-
ESPN's Joe Lunardi has still has Drake as the MVC's automatic qualifier (let's hope Bradley can change that this afternoon) in his latest bracket as a #12 seed vs. St. Mary's in the West Region (Albany, NY pod)-

CBSSports.com and Jerry Palm now has Drake as his automatic qualifier (it was Bradley a couple days ago). He also shows Drake as a #12 seed against St. Mary's, but in the South Regional and in the Albany pod).

NIT Bracketology-
Bradley as auto-bid. This site had Drake as an at-large earlier last week, but now Drake is out-
This one is unchanged from a week ago. It has Bradley as a bubble team-
CBI Bracketology. Oddly, there are no MVC teams-

If both Bradley and Drake get upset before the title game, do either one get an at large bid.Comment

Here is an example that shows the lunacy of the NET.Originally posted by OhRotanes View Post
Both Joe Lunardi (ESPN) and Jerry Palm (CBS) have West Virginia in their NCAA tournament bracket, despite the fact that they are 16-13 overall, 5-11 in the Big 12, and tied for 8th place in the Big 12, just 1 game out of LAST PLACE!
https://www.espn.com/mens-college-ba...ings/_/group/8
They are just 2-11 against Quadrant 1 RPI teams, and 4-12 against quadrant 1 NET teams.
They rank #50 in RPI, and #26 in NET.
What it shows is that teams like West Virginia, a mediocre team who happens to be in a good conference, gets overly-rewarded in the NET formula for getting beat repeatedly by the good teams in their league.
It's a joke that a team that is barely ahead of the last place team, and was even beaten by that team once this season, is still seriously considered an NCAA Tournament team.Comment

I know I am a spiteful human being with a long memory but TCU has an assistant coach named Duane Broussard. Sorry I will probably never forgive.houstonbraveComment

HoustonBrave - your "never forgive" comment about Duane Broussard went way over my head - I do not understandOriginally posted by houstonbrave View Post
. But it appears that Big Jimmy may have an understanding. I see where Duane was a guard at Bradley from 1989 thru 1992-93 and his stats are OK but nothing too impressive - in fact I totally forgot about Duane during that Jim Molinari era. Are you able to share any more details? Thank you.

I'm sure he's referencing the fact that Broussard was an assistant for Molinari and when Mo was fired he joined Ritchie McKay (another former BU assistant) at New Mexico, and thereafter continued texting Danny Granger who had stayed at BU in violation of NCAA rules.BRADLEY BASKETBALL
