Thanks, MM!

I'll be leaving tomorrow AM for the long trip to South Padre Island. I hear there are a few fans going from Peoria, but there is also a contingent leaving from Indianapolis, and a some from Chicago. I hope everyone has a safe trip.

I'll be getting into SPI on Friday morning.....the other 3 amigos are arriving at different times tomorrow.

DC.....PM your cell# so we can connect with you while we are there.

When did Bradley beat Michigan?

Dec 8th, 1997.

Famous quote by WEEK tv announce in closing moments (something like....) "Well, you know Michigan isn't gonna be any good this year...."

They then went on to beat #1 Duke in their very next game and later I think they won the B10 Conf Trny that year.

And people wonder why Bradley fans didn't like the WEEK announcer (who is an ISU alum).

BU - Iowa

As has been stated, BU needs to take care of business on Friday. As an Iowa boy, I grow tired of hearing all the hype/excuses about the Hawkeyes. Bradley is way more talented and, if under control, a far superior ball club than the boys from Iowa City.

The other night, I heard an ESPN broadcaster talking about how the MVC is going to be down this year as so many key performers were lost and new coaches joined the league. All he could talk about was SIU and Creighton. It's time for BU to show the nation that we are not a "status quo" team, but will be your 2007-08 MVC champs.

Maybe I'm being selfish but it sure would be nice if BU took down all 4 of Iowa's D-I programs in the season and became the Mythical State Champs of Iowa.

We need to handle the ball and hit our open 3's...if we can do that, the rest will take care of itself...


GO BRAVES!


Happy Thanksgiving!

One would also think that after announcing for a couple of years or so, there would be some kind of improvement with the WEEK announcer. He started out brutally bad and ended up...well he ended up about the same.
Really looking forward to seeing the new broadcasts when the coverage is expanded.

I believe Michigan got third the year that BU beat them in Carver Arena (I have nothing to back this up). It was Georgia Tech that went on to win the ACC after BU beat them on the west coast in the 1995-96 season.

Michigan finished 4th in the 97-98 season.

Michigan went on to win the B10 Conf TOURNEY. (later forfeited by the NCAA)

And yes, Georgia Tech won the ACC (outright) in 95-96 when BU beat them. That year, the ACC was the best rated RPI Conference.

Where did you find this info? I just want to relay it to someone.

Right now, the Las Vegas Sport Club is the only Vegas site posting a line: -2 1/2 points--

http://www.vegasinsider.com/college-basketball/odds/las-vegas/

scroll down to #589 in these lists--

A couple Offshore sites list Bradley at -3 points, and the over/under at 110.

http://www.vegasinsider.com/college-basketball/odds/offshore/

By the way, Bradley is a 500-1 longshot to win the NCAA Championship, but they are one of just 80 teams given odds. There are only 3 MVC teams, BU, SIU, and WSU.--

MMob, shouldn't that be IUB?

I don't think the over/under is 110 DC. I'm guessing the -110 is the odds to bet on either game (for the gambling novice - most games with a spread are listed -110 odds, which means you would need to bet $110 to win $100, with the $10 being the 'vig', or the percentage that the casino keeps). I would be shocked if 110 was really the o/u. If it is, pound the over!

BTW - Happy Thanksgiving!

Bradley will cover if it stays at 2.5-3. I am interested to see their total once its up. Did anyone notice that the O/U for the SIU game yesterday was 143!! If I would have seen that some of my student loans would have been paid off.

On another note, does anyone know if BWW carries CSTV? I am in the Chicago area and have to see this so I can give it to my buddy that goes to Iowa.
