Does anyone know if Chris Roberts was invited? I believe it takes place this week. It would be a shame if he is overlooked...

Good, I think the one Senior people really felt bad for was CR with the declining of a post season invite and no postseason banquet. SS has had these things before to send him off. Plus the way the last game went, it was just not the way to send a good player like Roberts out. Not that I disagree with the moves, but I still felt bad for Chris.

This is a great way to end his Braves career and I feel a lot better for him now. If he amazes the people watching this like he did us while at Bradley with his highlight dunks, he could do very well!
 
Congrats Chris!

hopefully it's been passed down to you. Boogie, unfortunately, learned do not save your best dunk for the 2nd round, it won't help you if you do not get there.
 
AWESOME! I think Chris could do some damage in that competition as he's delivered the best dunks I've ever seen at BU.

That is an interesting statement. He probably is the best dunker ever at BU, Boogie was close and Eric Roberson could absolutely get up but man that guy would miss a bunch of dunks.

Regardless good luck CR.
 
GREAT NEWS! Chris is an outstanding athlete and can win this thing. He is also a very nice young man and I'm happy he gets to put on the Bradley jersey one more time and show the nation what he can do.

BEST OF LUCK CHRIS

I didn't see Roberson play, so can't really comment. Boogie was an awesome athlete for sure, just not sure he was quite the dunker that CR is. There have been three or four dunks out of CR that I still can't believe what I saw.

[FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Roberts has made four appearances on ESPN SportsCenter's Top 10 Plays during his two-year Bradley career. Although his first appearance was in recognition of his 75-foot game-winner versus Oakland in the quarterfinals of the inaugural CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament March 23, 2009, his other three appearances highlighted his dunking talent. Most recently, Roberts earned the No. 2 play on the March 5, 2010 SportsCenter for his follow slam versus Creighton in the State Farm MVC Tournament quarterfinals, a play that gave the Braves the lead for good with 16:11 remaining and ignited Bradley's 81-62 victory versus the Bluejays.[/FONT]
 
That was Roberson that had "the dunk" vs Michigan, right? He just flew down the lane, over the entire Michigan squad (back when Michigan mattered) for a massive rebound slam. The local news replayed that dunk every night for the next week!

Also Theron Wilson & Zack Andrews both had some pretty good dunks too! :wink:
