    4 MVC games Wed., Feb. 26

    watching UIC at UNI - was hoping UIC can pull the upset but they are struggling early and behind by 15 pts But one thing that amazes me - their arena is 80% empty! They are in the middle of a tight 3 way race and still have a chance to tie for the regular season title in the MVC. They claim...

    A little update on Wichita State

    A little summary: Wichita State left the MVC in 2017. 3 years later Gregg Marshall was fired in disgrace, having never achieved another NCAA tourney win & after years of criticizing & mocking the MVC. Isaac Brown took over 2020-23, & never got an NCAA win & was fired after 3 years after posting...

    Bradley MBB Schedule updates

    a little off topic, but speaking of "crack athletic departments".... did anyone note the picture they (ISU) chose to highlight their game story for today's game vs Bradley at Carver Arena? When I saw it, I burst out laughing. It basically highlights a strikingly EMPTY arena at their last home...

    Interesting NIL factoid.

    The one team in the nation with the BIGGEST NIL bankroll is Arkansas.... John Calipari helped stockpile somewhere between $5 million and possibly as much as $10 million in funds to "buy" the best players But if there's a sweet ending to this story, it's that his team, Arkansas, is about to drop...

    Who are the league's best freshmen?

    Bradley has three freshmen, one of whom I would rank among the league's best, Jaquan Johnson, Timoty van der Knaap and Gus Rugaard. Jaquan is averaging 5 ppg (5.7 in league play), but is a solid PG, excellent defender and 2nd in the league in steals. Belmont's Sam Orme is averaging 8.6 ppg (7.5...

    what's up?

    Last night was a historic win - I believe the biggest victory and highest scoring total ever in an MVC game, and yet here it is 9am the next morning and the BUBRAVES Athletic Dept website still doesn't have a story or a report about the game? Don't they have Sports Info people? They list a whole...

    New NCAA rule

    Just passed…. now, beginning in 2025-26 schools can schedule & play up to TWO preseason exhibition games against ANY 4-year school. It can be a D2, but it now can also be any DI and it doesn’t have to be a closed exhibition nor do they need to label it a charity exhibition or get a waiver to do...
