That 4 vs 5 seed matchup could be very interesting. Possibly Belmont vs InSu. BU could very well see the Salukis again, too.

What section are Bradley fans assigned to at the Enterprise Center?

What section are Bradley fans assigned to at the Enterprise Center?

I have heard that they have tickets in 125, 126, and 101.

I talked to the Bradley Ticket office today and they said Bradley sections are 101,102,&126

I know it’s early yet but I basically missed the deadline for MVC tickets thru Bradley! If plans in the future would change for someone and you would want to sell your tickets I would be interested but would need two sets. Thanks, Sparkplug

230 pm Wednesday and I just called and got tickets. They did say they don't have many left though. Sections 101, 102, 126, 125.

By some total brain fart on my behalf, I am going to Nashville that weekend. My travel mates will just have to work around the BU schedule because I'm not missing a game

I heard that Bradley still has a few all-session tickets for the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament. The ticket office is open special hours today (Friday, 2/23), 8 am to 8 pm, mostly to make tickets available for Sunday's game with Drake. But if anyone is looking for the all-session tickets for the tournament in the Bradley section at the Enterprise Center, get them today before they are gone.

Am I crazy or does the 2-seed look like an easier path to the finals than the 1-seed?

Haven’t looked yet but how much are the all session tickets through Bradley

Haven’t looked yet but how much are the all session tickets through Bradley

They were selling for $175 each, and if you buy them from Bradley, there are no additional fees. As of yesterday, they only had a small number left.
If you buy through Ticketmaster (if they even have any available), the section will not be as good, and you will pay much more with their outrageous additional fees.

The demand is very high this year with so many teams thinking they have a chance to advance or even win the tournament. There may be some single-session tickets for sale at the Enterprise Center box office, but there will probably be fewer than in past years.
And with most tickets being digital, there will not be as good availability of single-session tickets from the street re-sellers (scalpers). Also, expect the single-session tickets to be quite costly this year. I am already finding a few available online, but the prices are almost as much as the all-session tickets go for.

Thanks DaCoach! I sure appreciate it!

I think it's amazing that with 1 game left in the Valley season that the only seed that's guaranteed is Evansville at #12. Valpo, ISU Red and UIC could all end up tied for 9th. Murray State and UNI could end up tied for 7th and UNI would win the tiebreaker as they won the only game they played against each other. Conversely if Murray wins and Missouri St loses, they would tie for 6th and since they split their season series the tiebreaker is to compare each tied team's winning percentage against the team occupying the highest position in the final regular season standings, and then continuing down the standings until one team gains the advantage. SIU, Belmont and ISU Blue can all stay tied for 3rd with a W on Sunday and in that scenario, SIU would be the 3 seed based on their 2-1 record against the other 2, Belmont would be the 4 seed on their 1-1 record against the other 2 and ISU Blue would be the 4 seed based on their 1-2 record against the other 2. And of course there's the winner takes the championship between Drake and BU in P-Town on Sunday. Can't emphasize it enough that we need to FILL UP Carver Arena!

I've been wondering the same thing.
There wont be an easy game the last 3 days for any team unless we have a Thursday upset.
