Bradley at Michigan State- Sunday 3:00 pm

[PTownHawkeye]

A couple quick notes about my drive to Michgan this evening...

-Saw 4 different vehicles with BU license plates from IL all on I-94 already in Michigan and several license plate holders headed this direction...hopefully we have a good crowd of red to stand out among the green and white
-Listened to 2 different sports talk radio stations based in the area. BOTH of them discussed how they feel Bradley has a "very good" chance to come in and win. They remember the game from Carver last year and after what happened vs UNC on Wednesday, are quite worried.
-I'm in Ann Arbor currently, but spoke to a group of 5 Spartans who are here for the night...all are very down on the bball team, but said that most of the buzz around campus is around how fired up the team is going to be on Sun...they feel they have a lot to prove. They expect a comfortable victory. We'll see

Looking forward to taking in the Duke vs Michigan game on Saturday before heading to East Lansing on Sunday. Go BU!

Only difference is that 75% and probably more of MSU's arena is filled with screaming and rowdy students. I just hope the shooting doesn't fall flat at the start with a week off from play and walking into an arena with the decibels at max. This will be a true test experience for some marquis MVC road games.

It's ironic that the main picture on the Michigan State website is of a full stadium during a white-out--

And the picture on the Bradley website announcing the game notes for the BU-MSU game is a picture of the white-out from last year's Michigan State-BU game--

I like the one on the bottom, what about you?

75%? The students surround half the court for a number of rows, but lets not get carried away

Wiki says 4,000 for the Izzone, 15,000 for the Breslin Center.
