It will sound way too early for this but....
The Bradley baseball season is almost upon us...

The Braves baseball team will depart within the next few days to go to Arizona for the season opener...the first of several games right off the bat against new or transitioning DI teams.
But Grand Canyon University takes their baseball seriously! They broadcast all their baseball games (including their game vs. Bradley), and they play an amazingly tough schedule against top opponents (UNLV, Kansas, Oklahoma State, New Mexico, NMSU, Texas Tech, Tennessee, etc..)
Plus - their head baseball coach was the NATIONAL Baseball Coach of the Year - LINK

Bradley plays Nebraska-Omaha on Friday, Feb. 13 - the first of TWO FRIDAY the 13th games we have this season. But we only have one BCS-caliber opponent on our entire schedule - Iowa - but we have multiple DII's.

We have an experienced team this season - should be better pitching but it kinda looks like we're trying hard to engineer a .500-plus season with this schedule...
