ESPN intereview with Jank

Hahahha to quote the august Eric Angevine,

"You're undefeated right now, and many of those wins came over very respectable mid-major opponents."

HAHHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHHA
 
"It seems to be tough to stay on top in the Missouri Valley Conference. Former NCAA tournament darling Southern Illinois is really struggling to build off of that momentum. How can you avoid that fate?"

What he should have answered:
"Well, I made this weak schedule so that we could have a good record and I could jump to a better school ASAP."

Sweet! That means he will have coached ISU to the Big Dance sometime during his tenure.

How many MVC coaches have gotten "better school" offers without making the Big Dance? :?:
 
quality mid-majors....Their first top 100 rpi team they played was UIC, 11 games into the season. This is by far their first true road test. So far its been..


Wright State 69-61 RPI: 175
SMU 84-73 RPI: 263
Central Mich. 72-69 RPI: 278
Mo. State 72-69 RPI: 133


Lets see if they can prove they can win road games.

That's all well and good but how bout your Braves? Who have they beaten worth a darn? I'm serious. It seems to me that our common win over UIC is a high water mark for both of us. Wait.......we did hammer Creighton the preseason #1 by 22.

I mean you all laugh at our sched (I admit BU's non-con was much better) and our unimpressive road W's, but who have you guys beaten? All the quality teams you played crushed you so what does that say?
 
It says that Bradley hasn't been very good most of the early part of this season. I don't think anyone has claimed anything different. Of course Bradley has had some recent post season success and the future does look bright - seems to be getting brighter every day.
 
78Brave got it right there. Big litmus test for BU tonight, also, because as you say, our best win in non-con was over UIC. We also had two embarrassing losses, something ISU has avoided. We've been playing a lot better lately, and also showed some real brilliance during PARTS of the Mich St and Florida games (still got beaten, obviously).

I think tonight's game is going to be an awesome atmosphere--
1. Big rivalry anyway
2. Both teams undefeated in conference
3. Both teams with something to prove

Really, really looking forward to it.
 
Just an addendum... I'm excited enough about this game to actually hope it's a good game. NAH! Bring on the 30 pt blowout win for BU! Heheh

They were sitting right behind me. They started out quite loud, but after the first 5 minutes on the first half, as Bradley started to pull away and control the game, I never heard anything more from them.
 
My bad, I didn't see Cooksey's tip of the hat after this one. Still a good win and i'm sure there'll be plenty of trash talk left in the tank the next few weeks.

Yeah - upper bowl.. You big wigs get better seats than that.. Speaking of. This is the second straight year, I have called the Bradley Ticket Office, ordered tickets with credit card number and all, got confirmed that I got tickets, and then showed up at the will call and no tickets for me to be found. What is the deal ticket office?!
