BracketBuster 2007

I like this matchup. Maybe it's my fear of Fazekas probably being able to put Zach in foul trouble in about 2 seconds. :)

We're playing an undefeated Colonial team.....I'm not worried about any lack of pub. Besides, the MVC owes that league one after George Mason beat WSU twice last year. :)

I am not upset at all with a matchup in Richmond. Good school, good team, good conference (neat town).

Colonial is currently 13th in ConfRPI.

VCU is 50 in RPI (SOS of 158).

They are 10-0 in conference, just won at Drexel. They have not played Hofstra yet - they meet only once at Hofstra Wednesday.

Nice to see we will be on ESPN as well.
 
It does look a lot like BU.

The one thing that scares me is that they get 12.5 offensive rebounds per game. It looks like some of their guards tend to get more rebounds than Bradley's. Their point guard gets 4.5 rebounds per game.

VCU is undefeated on the road this year. That's quite an accomplishment.

They only have one guy over 6'7" and he doesn't do too much. They play 3 guards and 2 forwards.

Looks like a great matchup for both teams. We(VCU) are currently ranked 32nd in the nation as of last week and are all expecting to be ranked when the polls come out later on today, so it isnt that bad of a draw. Can't wait for the game between us.


Can't say I have followed Bradley any since last year, what kind of style do you guys play?

Welcome, Mercury....
I can see you are a VCU guy....and now that it is being confirmed that VCU will be
Bradley's BracketBuster opponent, we will start a new, separate discussion on the BU/VCU BracketBuster matchup.
 
VCU's 3 Losses:

Xavier by 3 in Paradise Jam (neutral court)
- Xavier tied for 3rd in A10

Toledo by 1 in Paradise Jam (neutral court)
- Toledo is in 1st (undefeated) in MAC

Appalachian St by 3 at home
- App St tied for 2nd in Southern Conf
 
Wow, the Rams are 7 points away from being 22-0! Guess we'll find out later on SportsCenter what the official matchups are (they'll be given in the 5-6 p.m. show).

Wow...the MAC must really be down.....Missouri State and Drake both manhandled Toledo.

Looks like the BU-VCU game should be an entertaining one to watch!

hahaha

This'll be an interesting game. Hopefully both teams play their A game (not really, I'd preffer Bradley played their F game truth be told)...

Bradley's road record may not be terribly good but those are some pretty tough teams they lost to (minus Tenn Tech)...

We really need this win if we want to garuntee ourselves a chance to dance in March. Should be a good one.
