Sammy's story headlined on ESPN.com

Wow! National respect for BU! Great!

PS
The guy who wrote the ESPN article must not have read, or worked for, the PJS!
 
You think this story is there just because we're going to play Duke next week?

Here's the scene at ESPN offices:

Okay, after that school from Peoria, Butler, loses to Duke again they'll be playing that school in Indiana... What was it called again? Bradlor? Bradem? Oh, right... BRADLEY! What's going on out there? Deploy a reporter, stat!
 
Maybe something like that. :)
It was written by Scott Powers, who is the head college basketball guy for the Chicago ESPN site. I think he just needs some articles to fill space each day, and Sammy is a Chicago guy. That's why he wrote it.

I think it's more because it was espnchicago.com than us playing Duke

I know but isn't it interesting that espn chicago reported it several days late?

I wouldn't say several days late since it was on the ESPN Chicago homepage the day that it was announced. Due to finals I have limited my access to Bradleyfans and Facebook but my computer still opens up to ESPN Chicago so that is how I even found out about it.

There was even a quick blurb about it on 670 The Score the other day. Caught it while I was listening at work.

The Braves were considered a potential NCAA tournament team with Brown, Maniscalco and senior guard Andrew Warren returning. All three were preseason Missouri Valley selections.

Now the season will end on Thursday, March 3, in St. Louis.

Sorry for the negativity, just had to write that.

You just responded to the reason it might end on March 3rd. Not comparing the players, but do you think the Braves would have been so successful in 1964 if Levern Tart and Rich Williams would have had to sit out.

Absolutely not. Ozzie, as good a coach as he was, wouldn't have had the success with them out that he had had with them active. They probably wouldn't have been invited to the NIT (this is all conjecture, of course). At the same time, the quality of the team wouldn't have taken the dive that this team's quality has taken. This is because JL has never been, and will never be, at the level of coaching that CO enjoyed. In fact, comparing them is like comparing apples and oranges, to use the popular idiom.

All IMO, of course.
