... A win on Saturday at UNI, and we finish 2nd. Not too bad for a team that only returned 51% of their scoring from last season.
I expect UNI to roll over and play dead.... letting the Birds get that win on Saturday.

ditto for BU, except by my calcultions BU returned 52% and had to face a far tougher schedule..Not too bad for a team that only returned 51% of their scoring from last season.

If Uni beats ISU on Saturday, they will be 9-1 against top 100. Discussion over. Uni doesn't have to win another game. they're in. I'll repeat...9-1 vs top 100. RPI in the mid 20's with a 1st round loss to salukis.

Doesn't everyone in the Valley play the same schedule for the conference?
And IF they lose their next two games I'm not believing it's so cut and dry. I'll stand by my statement that it will be a VERY long week for UNI before the selections are announced.

According to DaCoach, Bradley returned 74.7% not 52%. And I don't believe that includes Andrew Warren either.

That would be nice.
But I don't see it happening. Not on Senior Night. And certainly not after a loss to Evansville. Actually I don't see them ever rolling over as long as Jake is the coach.

the amount of scoring that returned with Dodie was used by Da Coach but now obviously has to be removed from the equation....or did you not know he is out for the season??
..also to be precise, you must use the actual points scored and not the ppg averages - reasons are obvious
anyway, I guess I am stumped as to why you cannot just do the calcualtions yourself and demonstrate some independent thinking?

Are you saying that DaCoach's calculations aren't correct?
And why would I or anyone re-calculate anything if the work was already done properly in the first place?
I trust DaCoach's ability to figure those things. Why should I question the way he does his calculations?
As far as your attempt to flame me with your independent thinking dig. As a moderator or former moderator or whatever your role is here, I thought you would be above making a post about a poster. Remember posts are supposed to be about opinions on topics and not about the posters themselves.
You can't have it both ways.

C'mon, man. His calculations were from Sept. 26, well before Dodie was out. He isn't incorrect, tornado isn't incorrect and neither is claiming that the other one is incorrect. I really don't see the point in looking for semantic loopholes in people's posts to show how smart and detail-oriented you are.
This discussion is really silly- cpacmel, if you want to try to spin things anti-Bradley, or anti-tornado, go ahead on your own board, but not here.
The projections were simply that- projections. Anyone trying to make more of this is just flaming.
Andrew Warren's averages from the 2007-2008 year were used in my calculations (not too hard to figure out, since it was noted in my original post), because he didn't play in 2008-2009, but if anyone esle wants to count it the other way, I have no problem with that. Stop trying to use 2 completely different situations to try to prove some inconsistency.
The other factor, obviously, is the absence of Dodie Dunson's numbers, which anyone in a preseason calculation would add, but which never materialized because of his injury. Why anyone would obfuscate this fact just to try to make some kind of irrational point against another poster is beyond me.
cpacmel, your type of flaming is not welcome here, and wouldn't last 2 seconds on the Redbird board if posted by a Bradley fan, and you know it.
No more warnings will be issued.

Alright, everyone stop panicking.
Lunardi has UNI as a 7 seed.
7 seed.
If you think you can fall completely out of bracket from a 7 seed with 2 losses, you're insane in the membrane.

Some people just can't seem to grasp it. After 73 posts in this thread.... wow.
I will agree with you on this point.
I think there is too much in-fighting on here lately. Can't we just let people post there OPINIONS without attacking them?

I agree with you here JD. This stuff is really starting to get old. But, I would also add, that it all started when a small faction of negative posters arrived on the board and who periodically attempt to hijack or start threads to spread their negativity. Remember, this is a privately owned board for our benefit and the primary purpose of the board is to provide a forum for positive-oriented Bradley Braves basketball discussions.

I understand we only have close to 50% of our scoring from last year. But I don't understand how we have had a tougher schedule than ISU! Doesn't every team in the valley play the same conference schedule? Just trying to understand your point of view better T!
I think that ISU has had a very good conf. run and have surprised some people. I hate it, but can admit it.

Well I don't think that UNI is out but I think that I can fill in the blank of your mystery team. I think that their season hinges on the Gopher game tomorrow!

If they keep UNI out, it would just be another "joke" that the NCAA adds to it's increasingly tiresome "comedy" routine its been performing for the last 20 years or so regarding mid majors. Absolutely no hope for mid majors in the future if this year's UNI resume isn't good enough. That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if they kept them out.
