Here's what you're up against

[dogsrus]

Tall task IMO. Just played Monday.....short turnaround, no time to really rest physically AND mentally. On the road in a hostile enviroment.

I just don't see how we can be fresh enough to pull it off.......

And as they mentioned in the paper...DR is NOT 100%. You could tell he is not very mobile.

Good luck guys...lace em up and give em your best shot.

The prize one more time, maybe two in front of the greatest fans in hoops.

I would almost promise a sellout IF we bring it back to Peoria......

I think Bradley was going to be shipped out on the road regardless.

I don't know...if it hadn't been Tulsa and Houston in the final 4 and we didn't have Disney on Ice we'd be talking about something completely different.

BU is the 4th seeded team, so the best we can hope for is one more game at home. Check the CBI website.

Yes, we are the 4th seed. However, A) we had to go on the road, and B) they didn't want an all CUSA final. I would think they may leave it open to determine the home court advantage after the games tonight. Don't know if that's 100% true, but I would think given the circumstances, they may reserve that right.

If they wanted us to have a prayer of 2 home games, they would have seeded our game as the 2-3 with the other as the 1-4

I still think it will have more to do with how the teams are playing and what kind of support they've gotten in their arena than the seed in the quarterfinal. The CBI can do what they want, and I bet they'd take the prospect of two games at Bradley over two games at Houston (for example).

I wouldn't put it past them considering they reserved the right to put the only remaining #1 seeds against each other in their final four, but this is what the CBI website is currently showing, therefore I'm not very confident we would get more than one more home game.

Semifinals - Wednesday, March 26

#3 Houston at #2 Tulsa - 9 p.m.

This whole thing is getting to be a joke. If you're going to have a tournament have a tournament. Arbitrarily deciding who plays where half way through the tournament is bush league. They need to seed the tournament from the begininning with the higher seeds getting the home games. Bradley is one of the number one seeds to get through to the semis and all the sudden we are a four seed? They need to stop worrying about politics and viewership and make this a legit tournament. Seed the teams 1 through 16, do it right.

Agreed......the whole seeding process is making a joke of this tournament in my mind as well.

This is no different than the way the NIT was done prior to the NCAA purchasing it a few years back. BU got screwed in '94 by having to go on the road to a crackerjack box in Albany against Siena because the NIT wanted a team from NY in the Garden. We hung with them for a while, but some 5'8" guard named Bennerman went for about 30 and ended our season. That game should have been played at Carver Arena but wasn't.

I really hope BU can pull this off tonight, because I think the best of 3 Championship will be really fun to be a part of. That being said it's gonna be tough, This home/road thing in these tournaments is huge. There's is no doubt in my mind that if this game were at Carver tonight, BU would prevail. It seems we can never get that 3rd home game in these tourneys, we've gotten the first 2 a couple of times, but always end up going on the road for a 3rd. We've lost the last 3 or 4 road games in the NIT, it's time we end the streak.

BradleyBrave............That's the EXACT game I was thinking about when I wrote my last post. It's always something that costs BU that 3rd home game, even though we usually/potentially out draw most other programs left. We just need to step up and win the road game, 1982 style.

So what exactly were we up against? BRINNNNGGINNN ER HOOMMMEEE FOORRR 1 MOOORREE BABBBBYYYYY.
