"With a win Saturday, Bradley will wear white as the fourth seed against either Creighton, Indiana State, Missouri State or UNI."

I was under the impression that we could only play Creighton or Indiana State. How is it possible that we can play either UNI or Missouri State if we're the #4 seed?

Not only did they get this wrong, but on the bubraves front page it says "Creighton and Bradley played 90 minutes and scored 221 combined points at Qwest Center Omaha Saturday..."

How exactly did they play 90 minutes?

I guess they figure each team played 40 minutes of regular play then 10 minutes of overtime,....so that's 90 total!

Maybe my math's a little off, but I'm still not getting where the 90 comes from.

Gotta have a key for everything:

Regulation minutes multiplied by 2
added to
OT minutes multiplied by 1

Yes....it makes perfect sense now. Both teams played the 40-minute regulation, but only one team played the 10-minute overtime.

They didn't. Each team played 50 minutes (40 minutes in regulation + two 5-minute overtimes), so that was 100 minutes total for both teams. On the other hand, if it was only a 1-OT game, then each team would have played 45 minutes, leading to a 90-minute total.

Or were they taking out the beginning of the 2nd half that Bradley did not play?
