Just looked at the Barking Crow latest NIT projections would have Bradley playing Cincinnati!!! To me that's better then Iowa because BU and Cincinnati have a great tradition of playing each other especially back in the early days when both were I believe part of the Missouri Valley!!

Latest NIT bracketology has Bradley playing at Iowa ( would be great if the Braves could avenge last years loss to Wisconsin). The Hoosier State would get a great Indiana Match-up ( nope not univ.Indiana, they cowardly declined) between Indiana St. And Butler!!! Indiana State would have home advantage and if they can make it to the final 4, would stay in Indiana the entire tournament! Of course if Butler can pull 3 surprises, they would get Home Advantage in final 4 where they will play on campus of Butler Univ.( Hinkle Field house).

Will still be proud on Selection Sunday to hear that Bradley has been chosen to play in another NIT among so many in its history! They've won 4 of em! GO BRAVES!

I really don't know your historical question. Finishing 3rd in the Valley in all its history could be great for an NCAA or NIT bid or can be bad for either bid. I would guess it would all depend on your NET and/ or how strong the Valley was that year. Maybe someone can look back in History to see how many 3rd place MVC teams were invited to either tournament!

Yes Bradley with its high net of 59 from what I read on NIT projections, has a 99.7% chance of getting into the Field of 32. It appears they would be a 5 or 6 seed playing away from home. Syracuse or Iowa was some of the many projections where BU might play. We will know for sure on Sunday evening! As a Bradley Fan, I'm just hoping we could first off win an NIT game!!!! Losing to Wisconsin last year made it seem as if we couldn't keep up with a big 10 team! If say we could beat Iowa or at least be extremely competitive whoever we play, would be a big ➕️!!!!! Since I enjoy dreaming of Underdogs and being Greedy for Bradley, how about they win round 1 and another upset team wins in Bradley's Bracket so maybe then we get a home game at Carver against a very good NCAA team? Yes I like to Dream big!!!!!
