"meaningless" was probably a bad choice of words. Its just doesn't have the significance or impotance of the Valley game the following Tuesday.

Momentum at this time of the year is key. We gained some steam after Drake but we have to keep playing for a new level every night if we want to get to the NCAA tournament. Every team heading to St Louis is going to have some type of fatigue, but when you get yourself in a mode like our team is beginning to do then rest is not important. You now have to play every game like it's more important than the last. You will be battled tested and you will also be ready for the war the Valley Tournament is going to bring. I understand that it is going to take a bench to win in the post-season. TCS, Collins, and especially Austin have to step it up in practice to just get into the game and when they do they have give everything they have. Winning is the most important thing now and my fear is that a loss right now, out of the conference, would be death.

I didnt realize the UMW has a huge week ahead of them after they play us on Saturday night.
They turn around and have a game on Monday with Valpo, then Thursday with Loyola and then end their regular season with UIC.
4 games in 7 days.. yikes. They will be battle tested for the upcoming Horizon League tourney.

Story on UW-M vs. BU game from Milwaukee media
"Bradley is a traditional hoops hotbed and is known for its rabid fans.

I like these guys from up north and once we beat them I'll be rooting for them! Thier posters have been nice and their coach has added some great recruiting material for us.
It plays at Carver Arena (capacity 11,164), which is the site of the Illinois High School Association state tournaments.
"It's a fun place to play," Jeter said. "It has a great college atmosphere."

This is ridiculous! I have ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN HD, ESPN2 HD, ESPNU, ESPN Classic, ESPN News, and ESPN Full Court. I also have Road Runner High Speed Internet through the same cable company. You think one would be pretty well set for this year's basketball season, but I just learned that I do not get ESPN 360!
This is a major outrage to me because I get tons of games I don't want such as Marist vs. Fordham, Marist vs. Fairfield, Southern Utah vs. Oral Roberts, Montana vs. Idaho State and Bowling Green vs. Ohio, and Georgia State vs. North Carolina Wilmington. But I hardly ever get any exciting MVC matchups.
So they are going to put Bradley vs. Wisconsin Milwaukee on ESPN 360. Internet TV is so stupid anyways, that I never even investigated it until today. That is because I can't listen to it on the radio, or even any of the conference websites. I actually like the radio broadcasts, even though I feel like I am living in the 30s and the family has to gather around a radio to hear our favorite programs. Internet TV is so stupid unless you're single and live alone. Plus, the few times I watched us on Horizon League TV, I thought I was going to get seasick from the terrible camera work. But at least I had the audio.
I am so upset that I cannot get this game on TV, Web, Radio or anything. I cannot even go to my favorite sports bar, where I can even see my favorite college football team play almost every week (even though the people there think I am their only fan in the world), but I cannot even see this interesting Bracketbusters matchup.
Why in the world would ESPN waste the resources in taping this game just to show it on some website that hardly anyone even gets? How many extra resources would it take to put the feed on some ESPN Full Court channel who's programming feed is empty at the time? And if ESPN really thinks that their stupid commercial of men (boys?) getting into fistfights over how "in the know" one is on their sports knowledge because they watch Canadian Curling events on ESPN 360 is going to get me to request their silly service...well, they are utterly delusional.
I'm sorry for the long post, I just wish that I had some way of watching or listening to the game this weekend....and I am incredibly annoyed by the whole concept of ESPN 360 (if you can't tell).
If anyone knows what I can do...please let me know. What are other out of town fans doing?
Best,
JB

JB-
It is likely that the Bradley-UW-M game will be available on channelsurfing.net tomorrow night.
We won't know until tomorrow morning when channelsurfing.net posts their schedule of games for tomorrow. But that may be your best bet, and it's free! Hopefully it will be on their schedule.

All of a sudden this game got a lot tougher. Looks like we'll need TCS and Sam M. to step up big time with Daniel and Andrew out.

Anyone else having trouble loading anything from the PJ Star today? I've never encountered a professional organization/company/etc. with such terrible bandwidth that the site is always slow, or in some cases, doesn't work at all.

Right on Houston....
This is a game against an unfamiliar opponent, one that has some very athletic players, they've beaten some opponents that they weren't expected to, and given the BracketBuster format, it is a game vs. an opponent that we've had precious little time to scout and prepare for....all of which means it is VERY valuable to be getting this kind of game right now if we have a desire to play somewhere in the post-season.
