Providence at Bradley Wednesday

looks like the braves have a good chance to showcase themselves in front of the "power" conferences. if we win we'll have big east, sec (mississippi st.), and acc (FSU).

let's hope we get that chance. go braves
 
Some had predicted 2 and maybe 3 home games, however if we win and play Saturday, it obviously won't be a home game.

Couldn't it still be a home team if the 8 seed beats the 1 in the other game? This isn't the big dance where it's automatic for the 1 seed to win thier opener

that's the way i've interpreted it, maybe msu may be down having not made the tourney. then we could get another home game for this fun team to watch

I think MSU is a very beatable team on the road. I don't think they are that much better than teams like VCU. I could see a long run in the tourney for us.

Of course, if Miss Valley St beats MSU, that should make things easier for us! :D

I think the post was referring to the date that has been listed here rather than the possible opponent. We'd have a hard time fitting a home game in sometime this coming weekend! Unless....of course......nnnahhhh......it would be silly of me to mention a going away party for the Fieldhouse! :-o

I was under the impression that if we won our game and MVS won theirs, then our 2nd round game would be here on March 19 since that's our only available date at CA. The dates listed for second round games are March 15, 16, 17 & 19.

In their scout story on Bradley, they again use the nickname "Bears" thinking that's what Bradley is called.
this is not the first time I have seen someone else's website call us the Bears.

"The Bears average 74.4 ppg"
http://providence.scout.com/2/626063.html

Don't they ever check these things out for themselves, or are they all looking at the same erroneous website (probably an old page from Wikipedia).

By the way, Providence frequently plays a 2-3 zone and gets beat by teams that shoot the "3" pretty well.
Here is a story on how they got knocked out of their Big East Tournament
by staying in a zone against West Virginia while WVU was raining threes.
Finalls in the 2nd half they came out of the zone, went to amn-to-man and cut the West Virginia lead from 15 to 3.
Two fo their starters were out with injury:
G. McDermott - torn meniscus, S. Curry - dislocated finger

"The other nagging problem that has often reared it???‚¬?„?s head for the Friars are turnovers and an inability to score points off forced turnovers. The Friars committed sixteen turnovers against West Virginia, but the Mountaineer turned that into 26 points. Conversely, the Friars only forced 9 turnovers against West Virginia, converting them into a meager 11 points."

In the West Virginia game:
"Herb Hill, who put up another double double and has been rock solid for the Friars all season long"
"Providence...will never get over the hump in the post season until they can at least become an average defensive squad. Providence was in the top two in Big East scoring all season long, but their inability to defend relegated them to among the bottom of the league defensively and a mediocre 8-8 league record. .. the Friars must solve their defensive liabilities or they will continue to experience March sadness instead of madness."

Stats--
http://friars.cstv.com/sports/m-baskbl/stats/2006-2007/teamcume.html

One thing I noticed was that Providence played 11 non-conference home games and were 10-1 at home. But they played just 1 non-conference road game, and 2 at neutral sites. They were 0-3 away from home.

Thats it esactly. I was referring to the Class AA tourney which is in the CC Friday and Saturday. I was under the impression as well that our second round game would be Monday the 19th as well...BUT we have to win the first game first!
 
We've established the fact that this game won't be on big TV (which is fine because then it would have been relegated to ESPN U, which means it would have been hard to find somewhere that carries it).

Much more importantly to us out-of-towners is will this be shown on bubraves.tv? I realize they would probably charge 6 or 7 bucks because it's not part of the season package anymore. But, there's no reason I can see why this game wouldn't be allowed to be on (TV contracts, etc.).

Can someone ask Ken K. about this or do we know the policy?
