Bradley is in the NIT! HOME GAME WEDNESDAY MARCH 18 vs DAYTON, 8pm, on ESPNU

WE GET A HOME GAME!!!!!!!!!

We are playing a higher seeded team (a 4-seed) and yet we get the home game.
(due to unavailability of the Dayton arena as they host the First Four!)

What a great night to be a Braves fan.
So what if so many power schools declined.
Bragging rights for mid major teams!
Let's get a win or 2!
 
Probably adds salt to the wounds of Belmont fans. We owe them a big thank you. I think BU gets left out if Belmont didn't decline.
 
well, several of the P-5 teams are in the Las Vegas Crown Tourney
The pairings are not released yet but suspected that West Virginia, Indiana, New Mexico, Ohio State, USC, Seton Hall are all likely

So elated that Bradley gets an NIT Bid! Plus we lucked out playing at home as well as playing a very respected opponent in Dayton! They have great History in the NIT I believe having played the most times, and we have History winning it 4 times only 2nd I believe to St John. This is like getting a very good Mid-major team to peoria like St.louis was in pre-season! We are fortunate because Dayton may be the Best team not only talent wise but historic wise to come to peoria since maybe Michigan in 2012!!!! Let's embrace the 2 very good Mid-major teams and get Carver close to a sellout! This is exciting hosting Dayton in my humble opinion 😀!!!!
 
I’m very happy to be wrong on the NIT. But probably had something to do with the unusual situation with Belmont declining given their coaching uncertainty.

And to think a home game because Dayton is our opponent…I’ll take it!
