Bradley vs Iowa State (3 games)

[it's boogie time]

Here's what I go from an email from BU. Sounds good to me.



The Bradley and Iowa State men???‚¬?„?s basketball programs today announced a three-year series, which will begin Dec. 16, 2006 at the Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines in the Mediacom Cylcones Capital Classic and will be televised nationally by ESPN2. The Cyclones will visit Carver Arena Dec. 1, 2007 and the series will conclude Nov. 29, 2008 when the Braves visit Iowa State.

Great scheduling score for BU. We now will have a chance to play Iowa State and Illinois next year in addition to DePaul. Too bad POB won't be back.

I went to the Iowa State message boards to see how they view this series between BU & Iowa State. The opinion is mostly favorable, with a couple guys who claim to be BU fans chiming in on the discussion. Here are a couple links.

The scout message board has almost nothing

And one of the discussions centers on the topic of Iowa State changing conferences and going into the Big Ten.
Has anyone else heard about this? I have heard various rumors for decades, but nothing ever actually happens on this front.

Must be a slow day on the national site, as Sports Illustrated
(SI.com) has the announcement of BU playing Iowa State as one of their headline stories.
Great publicity!
