Bradley plays at Florida Sunday. The game is at 1:15 pm (Central Time) at the Stephen C. O’Connell Center on the campus of the University of Florida in Gainesville. This is the opening game for Bradley in the 2008 O’Reilly Auto Parts CBE Classic. The Toledo-Florida game was also part of the CBE Classic.

This might be a game where the Braves will need more than 2 guys (DC & SS) playing the 5! Fouls might come into play with Florida having 8 players over 6'8 on thier roster! I hope AT and WE will be able to contribute in this role over the season as some relief off the bench!
 
Are there any plans on the board to gather somewhere to watch the BU-Florida game? Think BWW will be broadcasting the game with all the NFL action it will be competing with?
 
If enough people show up and ask for the game they will put it on, they know what draws in the business. There are 11ty billion screens, i'm sure they can find at least one for us
 
I've cleared my schedule for tomorrow after 10am. I am dropping 12 on a 6x6 with negative splits. Pints will flow after... during the game. Early flowing but easy going. ;) GO BRAVES!!!

Their big people are as quick as our guards. I think it is going to be ugly. A 15 point spread may not be enough. If we still had JC launching 3's we could stay close. This may not a good game for BU to be on TV if we get a beating.
 
The Gazelle Group, which runs the CBE and ran last year's CBI, had the CBI video-streamed games available on their site, but the CBE Classic games are not streamed there.

So, unless there is another "pirate" site like Channnelsurfing.net or Justin.TV, I can't see anywhere on the internet it will be available. I checked those 2 and it's not there.

I looked there as well... Thanks for the assistance.
 
Is anyone else bothered that we were unable to get hotel rooms and had to leave for a game in Florida on game day? I feel to run a professional tournament it was the CBI's obligation to secure us enough hotel rooms for our traveling party. It also should have been something Florida as the host school should have helped us out with. The CBI asked us to travel to Florida on game day, not have any court time at Floridas home court and to play this game less then 48 hours after a game we played in Peoria. I know we get ESPNU exposure but overall this type of treatment is no way to run a tournament.

I cant even imagine the out cry by Florida if they were unable to practice the day before the game or get into Peoria until game day. The outcry would have been heard everywhere.

This just does not sit well with me and is not exactly a great formula for success.

Oh and I really dont care about some football game, your the University of Florida and the reason Gainesville exists make rooms available.
