Vanderbilt is a really good school, too.

I'd like to see us start playing one high-profile neutral court game a year in either Chicago, St. Louis, Indianapolis, or Des Moines.
Notre Dame and Bradley in Chicago. Both schools have a large number of alumni in the city ... it would sell out perhaps. Does anyone know how well the DePaul / Notre Dame game draws when they play at DePaul?

It always draws well ... even though DePaul has been down of late, it is still a pretty good rivalry. That one goes back to the old days of Digger vs. Ray Meyer.
This year, when DePaul's crowds have been down ... the attendance for the Notre Dame game was 16,934.

There were an exceptional amount of Notre Dame fans at the game this year, which contributed to that number.

It would be nice to be part of a higher profile event (at least per ESPN standards)

I still think Elgin should go hard after the A10 to set up an MVC/A10 tournament as an alternative to the bracket buster. Here is an earlier thread on the topic:
http://www.BradleyFans.com/vb/showthread.php?t=7170&referrerid=48
I think the A10 and the MVC need to cooperate to support each other as the two best non-BCS basketball conferences.
Bradley should stick with the powerful Horizon league non conference schedule. If they played half of those teams everyone "wishes" for...they would lose majority of the time. Just like the Michigan State game. Stick with the Wright States until they consistantly make the NCAA tourney. UCLA, Duke, Louisville? Right.
Duke is probably a better matchup (in the last 2 years) for Bradley than you want to believe. Realistically BU's only chance at Duke would be in a tourney.
Bradley might go 5-20 against all of the top25, but you may be stunned who the 5 would be, as it would not just be the bottom 5. That same reason is why so many BCS schools wind up with failry poor resume's, but get into the NCAA's due to a few upsets against ranked, top conference members.

Gee that schedule sounds like a lot of fun.:roll:
When John Calipari was at UMASS, he wanted to play anyone at any time at any location. The theory being that sooner or later your team will be better off for this. --and I think we should attempt to do that as much as we can--
