Here's what you're up against

I wasn't trying to be a jerk, and I wasn't saying that losing to Clemson should be considered a bad loss, I was just asking a question.

Riiiiiiight, BUB06. Any particular reason you asked about that one?

Because the only clips I saw were of their big victories, and I was just trying to convey that they have had their struggles as have we. Jeez I was just trying to be objective and point out both sides, like you journalists are supposed to do ... right?

Yeesh. Hey, remember you wanted to be/were a journalist at one point in time.

You could've asked about any game. I thought it was interesting you picked that one. Every team has its struggles (we've certainly had ours this year). But I wouldn't expect someone from an opposing team to come here and post highlights from a game they lost. I doubt somewhere from here would do that elsewhere.

I just mentioned that one because it is a game I happend to watch and I remeber that UVA struggled. Look, we're going to have to play our best to go there and beat them. It seems like it is a tough place to come away with a victory. I thought our bigs played well tonight and they are going to have to turn in another good performance against UVA.

Talking some smack on our board? Our best player missed a good chunk of those games..

Bradley has beated Dave Leitao's team 3 times in a row....
Remember, that's who recruited all those players at DePaul that we have been drubbing.

[Murph]

clemson would win your conference.....

Tunnel vision.....

Remeber that knucklehead Kansas fan came over here a few years ago with some video of one of their primadonnas dunking, he said this is what your going to get or something really stupid. then we proceeded to give Kansas a beatdown. Wonder why we never seen him again?

Any way, I hope Virginia thinks we'll be an easy game for them.

And Gary Williams said that the 5th or 6th best team in the ACC could win the MVC.
He said that right before his 2006 Maryland squad got a home game against the bottom NIT seed,
Manhattan, then he promptly went right to work losing on his home court to Manhattan.

But the real clincher is that Maryland WAS the 6th best team in the ACC this season
.....and Maryland lost at home to OHIO...who of course lost last night to Bradley!!

AMEN & AMEN
Pooe Gary Williams always opening mouth and inserting foot. I am still waiting for hime to take Hinson's offer to play MS and now that BH is gone he may finally even do it.
For the ACC fans it is time to quit whining and start to improve your non-conf schedule. If schools in the MVC played the likes of Howard, Longwood, Hampton, Elon and Hartford we would have all won more then 20 games. (the problem is we would be told that our schedules were not tough enough if we did) Yes the ACC is a tuff conf but only through the top 5 or 6 teams. (I hope I am right about this as we play V tomorrow night & they finished 10th-already knocked off the #10 team in the Big East which was rated the best BB conf in the country)

[Out of Balance]

I'm not going to lie...I'm a little nervous that it's at Virginia. Our guards can't afford to be cold from 3 point land. If the game comes down to "bigs" we're going to get dominated. Those guys have games against people like Tyler Hansborough. What would have happened tonight without the home crowd advantage of powering them through the last 8 minutes? We can win...but it has to be done from behind the 3. But then again I don't want to get psyched out about these guys, after all, they are still a CBI tournament team. Whatever that may mean.

NERVOUS, COLD, DOMINATED,TYLER HANSBOROUGH, AND PSYCHED OUT!!!!!!
What the hell??!! You Scared??? Theres no place for that!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope you have changed your panties from last nights game!!!!!!!!!!
Bradley 78, Virginia 69 Now quit biting your pinkie!!!!!!!!!1

[mike radigan]

clemson would win your conference.....and they shot 65 % from 3
and i would much rather prefer a 30 pt loss the clemson than a 15 pt loss to vcu at home, a 13 pt loss to norther iowa at home, an 11 pt loss to missouri state, a 13 pt loss to witchita state at home, and a 13 pt loss to southern illinois

Hey, Virginia, can you say Dec 23, 1982?

Haha. I'm just saying I hate Disney on Ice. I'd feel a lot more comfortable if it were at Bradley. And no I'm not scared, just wishful thinking I guess. Note the comment about how I'm not psyched out because they are still in the CBI. I did wake up this morning with a renewed idea of Wednesday's game. I think our guys are going to be pumped up and excited about this game and come out firing and never let up. Knock on wood (I'm very superstitious).

Bradley 108 Virginia 67 haha

three of starting five aren't leitao recruits, singletary, diane, mikalauskis

[virginiahoops50]

You didn't have to go and start talking trash,

my bad.....i'm use to fans trying to pick fights and occasionally it rubs off on me too

[virginiahoops50]

and just another note, ODU beat VCU @vcu when vcu was on a big win streak

Well, from what we've been hearing, I don't think it would have mattered whether Disney on Ice was in town or not. I think Bradley was going to be shipped out on the road regardless.

The good thing about the CBI is that they probably will be far more receptive to the non-BCS schools than the NIT will be. But ultimately, they would like to see a BCS team win the thing, or at the very least be given the chance to make the finals. Not so much because they want the team to win. Just that they may draw more in some cases (not always, but sometimes), and more importantly, it will give more credibility to the tournament.

I do however believe that Bradley has the talent to beat Virginia. It's just trying to battle their crowd that will be the most difficult variable to deal with. But if Richmond and ODU nearly beat Virginia, I do believe Bradley will have as good a shot as anyone to pull off the victory.
