I wouldn't call the MSU loss to San Diego State a bad loss in terms of the quality of the opponent MSU played. But losing by 16 was bad. I would have expected at least a little closer game, but MSU may struggle this year and the Aztecs do have Sweet 16 potential again.

Congrats to the Braves for a great win! Once again, any road win this year will be a great win. Hopefully we get a few more road wins than one this year. And we'll definitely have to play a lot better, especially on defense to beat South Florida at their place this coming week.
We got some strange named non-Division I opponents in the Valley this year. UNI played a team called Wartburg earlier this month, and Missouri St. played a team called Philander Smith!
I couldn't make these names up if I tried!
Seriously though, if Valley teams are going to schedule creme puffs early in the season, at least schedule Division I teams. Beating these non-Division I no-names won't help anyone come Selection Sunday.

Wartburg is a little D-III school in Waverly, IA, similar to Eureka College.
Put it this way, I wouldn't call it a bad loss if Bradley lost by 16 at home to the #25 team in the country. Missouri State was picked 8th in the Valley and closer to 9th than 7th.

Absolutely, it was a great production. I liked BP's executive producer credit too. That being said, I hope they get revenue support from local advertisers.

I think they did a fine job - we need all our games on Chicago TV

Can Bobby confirm that the game was available in the entire Chicago market? The reason that I ask is that Comcast/NBC Sports will occasionally broadcast local games that we don't get here in Peoria (for example, the Chicago Wolves).

The broadcast was on the primary CSN Chicago feed. It wasn't pre-empted anywhere on the CSN Chicago grid... meaning if a TV viewer has the CSN Chicago channel, they were seeing Bradley. As a note, I had BU friends and relatives able to watch in St. Louis and even down the road in Indianapolis, so CSN covers a much bigger footprint than just Chicago.

Thanks for the good production!
CSN Chicago should be available to any Directv or Dish network subscriber in the nation, if they have their extra sports pack.... So most sports bars should have access to it.

I have to say so far I see no comparison between this years team and last years. This team has great effort and plays solid help defense. They rebound from every position and don't get pushed around. They feed the post and when the guys get it they make something happen. They play with great emotion and don't hang their heads when down. They are all over the floor for balls and don't give up. They run an offense that is productuctive and actually gets us good shots. The only thing I see the same between last year and this year is they are 3-0. This team is fun to watch as well. All of this is much different than last year. I like what I see so far.

It actually works the exact opposite these days. These guys don't count against the RPI, so the non D-Is are better than the low D-1s. Of course, it's optimal to avoid both entirely.
Non D-1s don't help on selection Sunday. Bad D-1s actively hurt you on selection Sunday.

Great job BU.... Not only a road win, but, IUPUI was favored to beat BU in the NCAA MBB Betting Line in the AZ Republic....
BU pulls off stunning upset! :lol::lol::lol:
Know the road ahead will be a long one, but, it is sooooooooo much fun to read and post this year vs the last couple.
Win or lose, always play hard, always play smart, always improve, always play as a team, and never give up BU!
This needs to be the identity of BU MBB going forward.
Now, GF, it's on you to get the big(ger) players BU will need in the future!

That's fantastic! I wasn't certain, so that's great news.

just wanted to give Will Egolf a little more kudos
..he was all over the place on defense - challenging shots, blocking several, creating defensive pressure up high, causing turnovers, and on one play...diving on the floor for the loose ball then dishing off for the score...
I thought Will Egolf was just as much the difference in this game as anyone
