Here is a question I don't know the answer to--
If the CBI does go a full 3 games, has there been any previous occasions where 2 teams in Division I played each other 3 times in a row? If it has ever happened, I would expect it might have been between conference foes, what about between any 2 non-conference foes?

Let's go Braves!

[Grassman]

Has anybody heard, how many tix have been sold?
We REALLY should pack the place!
After the disruptive season they have been thru, Our players, deserve our full support!
Go Braves!

[BradleyBrave]

Is there a Braves Club pregame party? I would think that with all the time they've had to prepare for this game that there would have been an announcement, but I haven't heard anything.

Yes, K.K. said last night on the pre-game show on WMBD-1470 that around 6,800 tickets had been sold as of Monday morning.

[Tulsa Brave]

We need to come up with an answer to their 7' center. From what I saw last night they just threw the ball up near the rim and he dunked it. We better be raining threes tomorrow night because we can't answer that, looks like he and Tulsa has a bright future.

It only seemed like he had the 20-30 dunks that the poster on the TU board said he'd have.

[Tulsa Brave]

Vegas says BU by 5...over/under of 141.

[BradleyBrave]

I guess it has been confirmed that there is NO PREGAME PARTY tomorrow before the game. This is very, very disappointing. We had one for the NIT opening round game, but we can't have one for the last home game of the year, that also happens to be in the championship round?

[dogsrus]

I aslo heard 7k as of Monday.....NOW the 2-1 goes on sale. Come on Peoria 10k.

Hey a bunch of us are gathering over at Hoops tomorrow before the Bradley game. I went there before the Cincy game and a nice turnout of Red BU fans. Plus- buy one, get free pizza slices and drinks!!

[TheHeemyMonster]

That is pretty pathetic about not being a pregame party for this thing. I am probably either goin to Gormans or EP BWW beore the game

[BUBraves04]

Hoops it is before the game! Meeting friends and BU fans alike there at 5:30pm tonight!

My prediction:

73 -

69 - Tulsa
