    BU at Creighton also not picked for MVC-TV

    Anyone also catch how BU at Creighton was not picked for MVC-TV for the final wildcard Saturday? I am guessing they are picking the ISU at SIU game. This kinda stinks.... BU is really getting the shaft in terms of TV games. Somewhat reminds me of 2006 and the Bracketbuster shaft home game not...

    Zone defense

    Understand that I recognize that BU didn't play well yesterday and this post isn't really going to address that. Normally Bradley is a man to man defensive team and that is what the calling card needs to be. And let's face it, BU didn't play well man to man defense last night and have had...

    The Slippery Floor

    Did anyone else see Kirk Wessler's blog on the floor at Carver? http://www.pjstar.com/php/index.php?/wessler/the_slippery_floor/ It sounds like Dave Reynolds is going to work on a story. Reynolds, Wessler, and Dave Snell had a meeting with the Civic Center staff and they are claiming the...

    Press for Daniel Ruffin in Chicago papers

    From the Chicago Sun Times... talks about how scouts are coming to see him play and Jim Les calls him "TJ Ford with a jump shot" http://www.suntimes.com/sports/colleges/670115,CST-SPT-brad28.article

    Thanksgiving tournaments - where next?

    I think we have to commend Jim Les and the rest of the BU administration who helped get involved with a Thanksgiving tournament like this one in South Padre. Getting 4 games (including 2 at home) and a chance to play 2 BCS conference schools on a neutral court is really a good thing. I liked...

    What did posters think of Victory, Honor & Glory

    Now that most have received their advance orders, I'm just wondering what posters think of this book and DVD. First off, I am very happy and thankful that BU and the AllAboutSports people got together to collaborate on this. It is truly a great offering and one any BU fan needs to have. I...

    Early pub for BU - Lunardi's Bracketology

    I know these bracketology sites before the season starts are meaningless, but how cool is it to see Bradley in the tourney prior to the season starting as one fo the last 4 in according to Joe Lunardi: http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/bracketology

    Why does the NCAA have all the floors look the same?

    I know it isn't that important, but I don't like how the NCAA has gone with a standard floor design for the Sweet 16 round. All of the floors look the same. I think this takes away from the color and visibility of the home arena and makes all the games look the same visually. Again, not all...

    Billy Packer mention about possibly calling an MVC game

    Who is surprised that Packer is such a tool... Jim Nantz kinda slaps the MVC earlier in the article as well.... From the Chicago Tribune today: Asked if he considered calling a Missouri Valley game this season as a way to show his interest in the league, Packer replied: "I do nothing for show...

    If the NCAA bid doesn't come .....

    There is the NIT selection show (first time ever!) on ESPNU at 8:00pm Central on Sunday. I hope it doesn't come to that for BU, but the NIT and atleast 1 home game will be a nice consolation prize for the team.....

    Already in St. Louis

    I arranged a work business trip so I could be in St. Louis on Wednesday and Thursday. I was around the Scottrade Center today and as usual St. Louis is well decked out with Arch Madness posters, etc. Should be a lot of fun... I'm even looking forward to the play-in games tomorrow night....

    Why the Bracketbuster was good!

    Before anyone on Valleytalk or anywhere dismisses the Bracketbuster, I think we all need to realize what a help this can be. Let's list the positives: 1) National TV game 2) Game against what should be a similar RPI team 3) Chance to step out of conference wars and show how good your team is...

    Dave Reynolds' blog - Bracketbuster and next year's schedule

    I haven't seen this posted yet.... Dave gives some ideas on the Bracketbuster and next year's schedule. Interestingly, sounds like the exempt tourney next year is still open and not finalized. I wonder what happened to the South Padre Island tourney...

    Does it seem like?

    Does Zach ever get any offensive rebounds? I like Zach, wish he would play a little more under control, but I accept what he is. He did have a decent game last night. But - does it seem like he spends too much time setting ball screens at the top of the key and doesn't get enough offensive...

    Plug for BUBRAVES.TV and this board

    I just wanted to share a little information. As a Chicago area alum, I really wanted to see more Bradley games on TV. With the advent of BUBRAVES.TV, it is now a possibility. They have worked out a lot of the problems with the service and the picture quality is pretty good. It is definitely...

    Will the Michigan St.-BU game be on TV in Chicago?

    I know that WEEK will pick this game up in Peoria as it is on ESPN Regional. I'm not sure if any station in Chicago will carry this. It seems unlikely. Does anyone know any bars/establishments in Chicago that would pick this game up? I would really like to see how BU will fare in this...

    Chicagoland Invitational - Goofy tournament?

    First off, I am very glad BU is in this tournament.... As a Chicago area alum, I'm happy to see these games and get a chance to play a Big East school where we will have more fans, and a possible chance to play a Big 10 school on a neutral floor. I know the tourney also gives 2 other games at...

    Rivals 2007 Recruiting Rankings

    Good to see BU listed as the #2 recruiting class in the MVC, behind only Creighton.... http://rivalshoops.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=605210 What does this mean? Nothing by itself, but combined with Fears - BU is adding a LOT of talent to the team next year. Definitely an exciting time to...
