An interesting article about Rick Giles, the head of The Gazelle group, the organization that runs the College Basketball Invitational Tournament (the CBI) that Bradley was runner up in last March. It sounds like he is dedicated to continuing the tournament and sees the CBI becoming possibly as a more attractive alternative to teams than the NIT.

From the article - here's the selling point to make this Tourney more attractive to teams next season:Originally posted by Da Coach View Post
"By winning the CBI, Tulsa made eight times as much money as Ohio State did winning the NIT."
And here is another one to point out:
"About midway through the first semifinal game at the NCAA Final Four, my daughter turned to me and said, "Daddy, how come there are so many more people in this building today, but it was so much louder last night in Tulsa?" I thought that was an interesting comment from a 10-year-old, because it was absolutely right on. Those 8,500 in Tulsa were rocking that building, compared to the 45,000 in San Antonio." -
I wonder if there is any info out there on how Bradley did financially?Comment

Bradley=maybe NIT team this year....could win a game or two
if any one of Thompson, Egolf, Collins, Singh and even maybe SOME Brown step up (any "big"), minor injuries/"distractions", and the 3 stars do indeed play like stars...
Bradley=NCAA team making some noise
lets get some team continuity this season....are you gellin'?Comment

Once they figure out some kind of deal or compensation for road teams in the tournament, they'll be good to go for a long while.Comment
