MVC Tourney

[wily coyote]

Need some help. What TV channels are covering the Tourney next
week

[Da Coach]

The Thursday and Friday games are on the MVC-TV Network and on ESPN+. The MVC-TV Network includes Gray Media stations.
Saturday, March 8 semifinal games are on the CBS Sports Network.
Sunday Championship game is on CBS Network

Scroll down to the bottom of this page (also posted on the Arch Madness thread stuck to the top of the menu page) to see the TV info for each game, along with other links - https://mvc-sports.com/feature/25Arch

Btw, this season the CW channel (part of the Gray Media stations in Peoria) has carried the MVC-TV Network games when they involved Bradley. It will probably do the same for the MVC Tournament, but I can't confirm.

The CW carries the girls high school state tour so it could be a conflict.

The Thursday and Friday games are on the MVC-TV Network and on ESPN+. ..

FWIW, those who subscribe monthly to ESPN+ - you may want to leave a reminder note to yourself to cancel your subscription after
the MVC Tourney - just so you don't dicover after the fact that they keep billing you all summer for content you may not watch at all.
You can always renew and restart on a moment's notice.

Yes, I saw that. Maybe the Bradley games in the tournament could get bumped to one of their other channels?

The Thursday and Friday MVC Tournament games will be broadcast on CHSN (Chicago Sports Network). That is over-the-air on Channel 19-4 (a subchannel of channel 19); CHSN is also available on many other TV systems, and most cable systems, except not on Comcast Xfinity.

Since I believe we know we are playing either the winner of 7/10 or 6/11… what matchups do you hope to see or avoid on Friday? Trying to decide who to root for in tomorrows slate.

The 10 and 11 seeds don't scare me much. But any of the teams currently in 5th, 6th, and 7th place (ILSU, UIC, and Murray- all with a current records of 9-10) could surprise us and be a tough game if they are Bradley's Friday opponent. Illinois State and UIC have each beaten Bradley (the only BU losses other than the top-4 seed teams), and Murray took Bradley to overtime just a week ago.
I would say Illinois State is the one I'd most prefer to avoid, only because they are more capable of getting hot from three.

Current standings-

UIC is the team I don’t want to see for obvious reasons. They beat us at home and we pulled off a miracle to beat them at their place.
I still believe if the refs let us play and don’t stop the game every 60 seconds, nobody can beat us.

When we are playing team ball we can beat all of these teams. I agree on if the officials do not over blow their whistle our chances are much better. Thing is everybody needs to step us their games and play like it could be their last game of the season plus for some their last college game of their career.

I agree. Matchup wise, I’d also like to avoid ILSU if possible. They are capable of getting fired up against us for a brief period… perhaps more potently than the other matchup options.

I see some likely scenarios that point toward Murray.

but whatever. Should be fun

Ok
everyone predict who will pull upsets Thursday & Friday

just speculating—-
Thurs - Evansville will advance
Friday- Murray State & SIU to upset Belmont & UNI

I see Valpo shocking UIC (maybe mild shock) on Thurs and Indy St. giving Murray St. a run for their $$.
On Friday, I think all top 4 seeds advance b/c UNI would play Valpo and shouldn't struggle vs. them.

Whoever BU plays on Friday, be prepared and don't overlook it.
We've had some challenges in Gm 1 even since 2019, and it seems only last season did we cruise, but it was very close at the half vs UIC.

I think it's been since 2001 that we were the #2 seed - it's a good place to be if you win your first game!

one more reminder- now that pretty much everything any Bradley fan would use ESPN+ for is over, don't forget to cancel your subscription
so you don't get autobilled repeatedly. You can easily restart your subscritipon any time, like next fall when it becomes relevant again.

I like to watch the high school games in the summer. There are not a lot but any post in the storm as they say.
