BU @ ISU red Game Time Changed...

I hate afternoon basketball. Even worse at Redbird having to trudge miles to and from car with nothing near the arena but a few dorms.

Saturday games are best tiping off at 8pm and giving everyone time to get "prepared" :)

Yes....everytime I go to Redbird it confirms why I'm happy to be a Braves fan. As nice as it would to be on-campus the surroundings the our downtown arena offers is priceless IMO.

Park close....stop at one of many good pregame spots.....walk a short distance to the game.....walk BACK to postgame spots and discuss another thrashing of ISU with friends over cocktails. :)

More logical than Redbird scheduling "Disney on Ice"?

Considering Redbird Arena doesn't have a sheet of ice under the floor, I don't think that's a possibility. ;)

And did anyone really think Bradley would be playing home games around Easter last season? I thought this was all hashed out when it occurred ...
 
Bradley ISU game over in normal is always a late afternoon tip, at least historically it normally tips at 3 or 4 in the afternoon.
 
Yeah, Well historically BU and ISU don't play during break either, but that didn't stop the MVC from doing it.

That tip time has ESPN2 written all over it.

The MVC owes us and ISU one - they better get it done.

The "deuce" would be nice, and ESPN does like to play up rivalries.
I was wondering, since our local CBS normally gets the game in Normal, is national CBS a possibility?
Of course the MVC has no problem stepping all over previous locally broadcast games..

Does anyone know when rivalry week is...

They play a ton of rivlaries that week... usually around the time with Mizzou/UofI, Duke/UNC... Michigan/Michigan State- etc etc....

If this is the same week- we could def. be seeing this game on one of the ESPN family of networks.

That's the first thing that came to mind for me as well. I believe "Rivalry Week" is somewhere near the first week in February so we just may be kicking that off!

Looking at Duke's schedule the last 5 years, they have played North Carolina on Feb 6, Feb 7, Feb 7, Feb 9, and Feb 5. (the other times they met in the season was in the final game of their conference)

Looking at Duke's schedule this year, they play UNC on Feb 11th and March 8th.
 
It's really telling that the MVC screwed up their schedule when we play our 2nd game with ISU in January! Morons! The game would have been made for primetime TV if they could have scheduled it for late Feb. I'm still convinced that the MVC has it in for us.

Or they are completely incompetent.

Well Scouter that is how I feel. As a long time BU fan it always seems that these type of situations go against us, we repeatedly get a ref who has a history with Ting us up even in the MVC Tourney, we are definitely not their darlings. Did I state my claim a little vigorously? Probably but the MVC seems to favor the bigger state schools.
