Espn.com has a write up of what to expect on the televised BB games

"Bradley at VCU (ESPN2, 8 ET)
On Feb. 8, 2006, Bradley was 7-7 in the MVC, and nobody could have foretold its Sweet 16 run. On Feb. 8, 2007, the Braves were 7-7 and once again an afterthought. Jim Les' team has won two straight since then to pull into fourth place, even without 7-0 behemoth Patrick O'Bryant, who left early for the NBA last summer. No matter -- the Braves and 6-8 senior center Zach Andrews have transformed themselves into a fast, fun team that leads the conference in 3s (43.0 percent, third in the nation).

That provides a great matchup with the VCU Rams, who lead the Colonial at 14-2 on the strength of hot 3-point shooting of their own (39.9 percent, 19th in Div. I). Neither team rebounds the ball that well; the Braves, at 27.0 rpg, are the 26th-worst carom collectors in the country.

Expect a game in the 80s, and a hot shootout between Bradley's Will Franklin and VCU's B.A. Walker. "

how great would it be to repeat exactly what we did last year, seeing that we are about at the same point...it would feel good 8)

So Patrick O'Bryant = behemoth?
