Conference games only, since those are constants each year.....

Sellouts happen because of two things,
1 home team very good
2 visiting team a marquee name that also is very good making for what appears to be a great game.
Not BU"S fault that they cannot get Mich.St, Louisville or other major teams to come to Peoria but everyone of those type of games would sell-out, the Peoria area is a great one in that they like to witness good basketball , hopefully BU has a 11-1 record when Wichita comes to town as it would mean that we have our 1st sell-out and get to 12-1 2-0 in the Valley.
I understand your logic here, but again, I'm curious to what the "experts" are thinking, not based on where JL has finished in recent years. However, if the "experts" base Les's finishes on their prediction, then they should say so. But I don't believe that's why most have Bradley finishing in the middle of the pack again.
Btw, if Bradley finishes fourth or even fifth, but strong enough for an NIT bid this year, would that change people's opinions about the team.....oh never mind! I doubt that would!

Unless three or more players miss a significant amount of time, then 4th or 5th would be a huge disappointment.....even with an NIT bid.

Plus 1,000,000! Well said T....
BU on line fans are passionate! #1 in the MVC and have to be in the top 10 nationally!
Being newly retired, this site gives me great pleasure reading others' posts and expressing opinions creatively with people I have never met, but, somehow seem to know after a while! It is the first thing I look at when I boot up the ol computer each morning before heading out to play golf, hike, bike, play softball and act like an old retired guy!

What do you mean about changing opinions of the team ?
My opinion is that this team is much better then last years team based on interior players and quite possibly mental toughness, will know more after I see a real game with a whole squad against Quincy.
I saw the Illini vs. Missouri football game and concluded that they were better prepared and a lot more disciplined which I know is do to their new asst. coaches, I thought after watching the red-white scrimmage that we appeared to be more physical inside which I did not see before, I hope it continues the whole season as we need tough inside players.
Agree...4/5 would be dissapointing to almost everyone, esecially the team and coaches IMO.
This team can finish top 3 and depending on the bigs could challenge for 1-2.

See dogs, every once in awhile you post something I agree with. Good post. I sense a refreshing air of diplomacy in your tone that last day or so. I like it.
I agree too, though I remember during the days of the Molinarmy just how loud the crowd could be! Those were some great times, and even back a few years ago when I came down for the DePaul game there were some stretches where the crowd was definitely into the game especially coming off of their Sweet 16 run. I'm sure a great run towards a conference championship this year can bring back the energy. Heck, even during the final round of the CBI and CIT the crowds were loud. But you are right that Bradley crowds have always been a bit more passive than other schools.
