If BU wins on Saturday they would need Indiana St. to lose to MN to get a home game correct? Or do they re-seed after next round? Hate they couldn’t let us meet at Hinkle.

If Indiana State wins they'd host the BU-Cincy winner.

If Indiana State loses, Minnesota would travel to the BU-Cincy winner.

I wonder what % of their fans in attendance even know they're former members and conferencemates.

Cincinnati has been in more conferences than any D-I school.

The ones aged 75+ and that's about it.

Bradley didn’t shoot well - got behind and could never really get back in it. Another good season for the Braves. Hopefully the portal is friendly this offseason

Certainly not the best Bradley passing execution and shot selections but Cincinnati clearly appeared to be the better team. If the Sycamores make it past Minnesota the Bearcats will be a real headache.

Bradley just didn't have it on Saturday. They couldn't hit the broad side of a barn, and it seemed like a few guys were playing scared. Having watch Cincinnati in their first round game, I must say they seemed much more interested in playing this game. Maybe it was motivation for Cincy to play well for Assistant Coach Drew Adams against Bradley.

Cincy was easily the better team just hustling to more loose balls, and making plays. Bradley did not shoot well, and turned the ball over some which has been an achilles heel all year. Also, Jizzle James (Edgerin Jame's Son) went off for Cincy. He is a freshman that got his first start and a bunch more minutes because of an injury to a Cincy Starter.

Solid season for the Braves.

I see you are the betting favorite, and I think that is right. Cincy played well, but as mentioned above we had poor shooting but also a real mess of a stretch for a couple extended periods of the game….Cincy was getting after it, but a lot of long rebounds where our legs looked like they were in cement. I feel like Bradley gave the Sycs their absolute best shot of the season in the second half in Terre Haute, and you withstood that. Playing at home should help you.

Good luck, and hope you take it the distance in the NIT.
