    Another Mid-Major Hater

    This guy really doesn't beat around the bush with what kind of tournament he wants. Have a vomit bag nearby. I'm sure ESPN and the BCS are forwarding this onto the NCAA as we speak. http://msn.foxsports.com/cbk/story/7947960?MSNHPHCP&GT1=39002

    Why making the NCAA's needs to be a priority

    Another article on why success on the playing field is very important as far generating a national university profile. I'm glad knowing our president has said publicly that she agrees with this. The numbers don't lie. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080323/ap_on_re_us/flutie_effect

    Tribune article on BU and the CBI

    Playing in the CBI is already paying dividends. More press in a giant newspaper like the Tribune is nothing but a positive for BU. http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sports/college/bradley/cs-080317-chicago-cbi-tournament,1,6183585.story

    Bubble Watch: Why BU's non-conference schedule did them in

    Here's Andy Glockner's current 'Bubble Watch' on ESPN.com - http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/bubblewatch?id=69 I can't say I disagree with too much of it except for maybe SIU being in the 'Work left to do' category. I started this thread because I still really believe our non-conference schedule...

    If Drake wins the MVC Regular Season...

    ...as it looks like they will, that would mean that every MVC team with the exception of Missouri St (who has made 5 title games since '96) would have won either the regular season title or conference tournament since BU last won either of them (BU's last title of any kind was the 1996 regular...

    Sam Maniscalco featured in Chicago Tribune

    Great article by highly respected Tribune writer John Mullin - http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sports/college/bradley/cs-080207-bradley-maniscalco,1,4734908.story Now the link is correct. My mistake.

    Tickets for Saturday - Need 2 or 4

    Well, originally circumstances dictated that I wasn't going to be able to make it to Normal on Saturday, but now it looks as if I am. Tickets are few and far between right now, so I was wondering if anyone ideally had 4 tickets together, preferably in the BU section. A couple of pairs would be...

    Let the Valley bashing begin...

    Up first - Jay Bilas of ESPN. Jay is calling for the end of the RPI, and uses Drake as his prime example. Numbers game: It's starting already ??¦ we've now begun to simply count wins against the RPI rated teams as the best evidence of how good a team is. Are we not smarter than that? The RPI...

    Who should have really redshirted?

    Well, we're nearly 2/3 of the way through the season, and I think it's unanimous that our biggest deficiency as a team is our interior play. It was decided prior to the season that a redshirt for Anthony Thompson was the best idea because of our supposed depth up front. Thompson looked to be...

    Cubs sign Jon Lieber for 1-yr, 3.5 million

    Squirrel and I had a 'Clash of the Titans' regarding the Maddux acquisition, but didn't discuss the Trachsel pick-up too much. I'll be interested as to what he has to say about our old friend Jon Lieber. I personally think that for this price, it's a great move. Especially if it means the...

    Brandyn Heemskerk Michael Stewart Jabbar Battle Jason Faulknor Mike Suggs v. David Collins Matt Salley Rashad Austin Sam Singh Theron Wilson One was a front court Jim inherited. One was a front court Jim recruited. One had a lot to do with a terrible season (12-18, 8-10 in league play)...

    Wichita Eagle writer drops BU

    This brilliant writer had ISU picked to win the league, and BU picked 7th. Now, after conference play, he's dropped ISU to 3rd and BU to 8TH. Wow. Does this guy watch the games? http://www.kansas.com/250/story/264876.html

    The 12 games 'til Christmas...

    We've had 12 games, and here we are at Christmas. I have probably thought longer and harder and deeper after last night's debacle than I have all season. I thought about last night's game, but also about the season as a whole up to this point. So, in honor of our 12 non-conference games and...

    This year's selection committee

    Call me crazy, but I think we have some friends on this committee this year. I like the fact that George Mason's AD is the chairperson. I think he knows as well as anyone what a quality mid-major program can do in the tournament. I also like the fact that we get his conference's champion at...

    Jerry Palm on the MVC

    He's surprised at our league RPI (he says league RPI's start to have significance this time of year), but says our lack of noteworthy out-of-conference wins could make us a 1 bid league. Right below them is the Atlantic 10, not surprising since it has four top 20 teams, and the Missouri Valley...

    Pomeroy Projections

    As of today, 12/2, Pomeroy projects BU to go 14-16, and 7-11 in conference play. http://www.kenpom.com/sked.php?y=2008&team=Bradley&t=p His projections give us a 8% chance of beating Michigan St, and a 4% chance of beating Butler. Not too good. We'll see how this pans out. FWIW, they...
