Bradley's next game is Tuesday, Nov. 22, at 7:00 PM against the Wofford College Terriers. This game is the second game of the Chicago Invitational Challenge for Bradley (UMKC was the first), before the event moves to Chicago for games this weekend.
There will be no broadcast TV for this game, but it is available on BU.tv, and on WMBD radio. There are links on the right for the video, audio, and Live Stats-

Wofford has lost to Wisconsin and Georgia, and beat Emory & Henry.

Bradley played Wofford exactly 2 years ago in Carver Arena as part of the 2009 HoopTV Las Vegas Invitational tournament. Bradley beat Wofford 56-54 in that game on a steal and breakaway dunk by Andrew Warren with 4 seconds left in the game.

Wofford returned only 1 starter from last year's team after going 21-13 in 2010-2011, and 26-9 in 2009-2010. They won the Southern Conference and the So-Soc tournament and played in the NCAA tournament each of the past 2 seasons, but this is a bit of a rebuilding year. They lost the Southern Conference Tournament Player of the Year Noah Dahlman. Their leading scorer through their 3 games this season has been a non-starter Karl Cochran, a freshman from Georgia. Then they have 3 seniors who all average between 10.3 and 8.3 ppg (Kevin Giltner, Brad Loesing, and Drew Crowell).

At this time, there is no information about streaming video for any of the Chicago Invitational games once they move to Chicago. Any indication that they will have their own private feed, like the Vegas games back in 2009?

I believe the Wisconsin game will be on the Big Ten Network.
 
The number of students that showed up to last night's game was pretty decent, but expect that number to crater Tuesday night. Everyone heading home Thanksgiving, it may be another awkwardly empty night in the student section.

Friends and family band that night?
 
Regular band Tuesday night. We don't get Tuesday off, so we'll be there. And if any band member skips, I'll track them down and scoop them up with my sousaphone.
 
Allow high school students to sit in BU student sections for free, first come first served at Tuesday's game vs Wofford.
 
Wofford has been extremely successful in the Southern Conference the past couple years, winning the regular season championship and the post season tournament each of the last 2 years. Yet it has not translated into much increased fan support. Numbers like these have to make Bradley and the BU fans very appreciative of what we have.

Attendance at Wofford over the past 4 years started to increase slightly, but despite an extremely successful season last year, their attendance fell off from the high point in 2009-2010-
2010-2011- 1,717 attendance per game
2009-2010- 1,921
2008-2009- 1,343
2007-2008- 1,252

and in their only home game this year, they drew just 708!

Even their fan message board is almost totally dead- only a handful of posts since the basketball season started several weeks ago-

For those interested, the pre-Wofford press conference is on Bradley All-Access. I am not sure if you need to suscribe or it is free.

Geno talks for 11:30 and Charonn Woods talks for about 3:30.

Geno is a great communicator and is fun to listen to. Nothing real new to report but he does spend some time talking about Jake Eastman which was interesting. Charonn mostly talks about the "Souls for Souls" initiative he is spearheading. He is a pretty impressive kid. Glad he is a Brave.

Very impressed with Charonn, he is one of the few Braves I don't know a lot about. Impressive young man good example of a Bradley student athlete. Keep up the great work Charonn.
