Looks like a nice non-conf schedule with FLA/Cuse, Mich St., and Butler...

[goaces]

Pretty good schedule for Bradley. Go Braves!

It's not a good schedule, but that's the result of the Top of the World Classic falling apart. It's certainly a step back.

You have a schedule that includes games against probably the No.2-ranked preseason team in the nation, a game against a traditional Big East or SEC power, and a game against a Sweet 16 team from last year in Butler. That, as of right now, looks like a good one. How could you say it's a step back, unless maybe you're spoiled or something?

You can't play a Top 25 team in every non-con game. Geez.

I think Bradley fans are a little spoiled and want a little bit more out of their schedule.

We play 6 of the same teams (D1) we played last year which are:
Illinois-Chicago
Florida Gulf Coast
Michigan State
Butler
SEMO
Wisconsin-Milwaukee

The rest of the teams (D1) on the schedule for this year are:
Florida or Syracuse
Richmond
Eastern Tennessee State
UMKC
SIU-Edwardsville
Bracketbuster

Last year the rest of the teams (D1) were:
Vanderbilt
Iowa
Virginia Commonwealth
Iowa State
Wright State
Md. Eastern Shore

Last years schedule had more BCS teams, more tournament teams, and more "big name" schools. So I think thats why it seems like a step backwards for Bradley fans.

What's the story on Iowa St.? I thought you guys were supposed to play them again this year?

[jb399]

and a game against a Sweet 16 team from last year in Butler.

Might want to double check that one bud.

Bradley is still getting another game from Iowa St. They just asked for it to be pushed back until next season.

I'll keep that in mind next time you go grammar cop on someone.

I didn't realize that hurt so bad.

Be relevant sometime this century and then you can say whatever you want.

Not a bad sched at all IMHO. Some nice games on there.

Certainly gonna be better than ours...then again, most HS teams put together better non-cons than what ours is shaping up to be :cursing::helpsmilie:
