During half-time of the UofI game Jay Bilas talked about how tough Bradley was and how Les has turned us into a high scoring team. It really suprised me, especially after earlier in the season the teams get bids not conferences and how the RPI of the valley didn't mean the should get several bids. Anyway, good PR for BU.

JB also said that the Braves and WS better tighten it up the last 10 games becuase thats what they focus on for making the Big Dance! But when I saw him talk about the Bracket Buster it was on ESPN 2 during the UNI-WS game! He also said that the Valley had won more Bracket Buster games than any other conference! :wink:
PS........now if the Braves want to keep getting talked about.......they must win tomorrow night! :idea:

And then they talked about the parity and how the teams are beating up on each other... Creighton at Bradley tomorrow started the Bradley talk.

Not Bilas... but heard Musberger say in the Illini game with regards to getting NCAA bids...
"it counts to have Ratings and Viewers - Always has"
That's beautiful.
The Drive-by Media strikes again!

That's as clueless of an assessment as it gets.

BINGO-- I think you hit it on the head.
These talking heads love their Duke's and UNC's, and their BCS guys,
and are not at all fans of the Valley or the mid-majors.
But suddenly when they realize their big, fat paychecks come from the very network
that is promoting these BracketBuster games with the intent to build up interest and get good rating...
then they sorta talk like they actually like the Valley teams.
Does anyone see the hypocrisy to all this?
I might disagree and think Digger is a jerk since he has such a low esteem of the Valley..
but I would accept his right to have that belief.
BUT NOW-- I realize his opinion can be bought with the $$ ESPN pays him,
so that makes him little better than workers in the "world's oldest profession" who will sell anything for $$.
In Digger's case, even his own opinion seems to be for sale. What a loser.

From Jay Bilas' chat this afternoon:
Nathan, Iowa: How many teams do you see coming out of the MVC?
Jay Bilas: There are six that will be in the discussion: SIU, Creighton, Northern Iowa, Missouri State, Bradley and Wichita State. Not all of them will make it, but it is still possible for all of them.

I have never worked in TV but I would bet they have meetings discussing the content of their shows. The producers will probably make sure that because of the bracketbuster that we need to talk about these games. The Valley along with a couple of East Coast teams and Nevada are most recognizable among the viewers. so lets talk positive about the Valley, discuss the positives about the Valley etc.
That does by no means mean the talking heads believe anything they are saying. I would take Bilas's word a bit more over Diggers but both have to talk up an event that will take up huge hours on a Saturday on the mothership and the other satelite ships.
