BU advances to the SWEET 16....


Who said the Missouri Valley (MVC) is not worthy of 4 bids this year? The MVC has 4 wins (more than the BIG-10) in as many days as both Wichita State (over TN) and Bradley (over Pitt 72-66 today) advance to the round of the SWEET 16. Yes - go BU. The hilltoppers are on top once again (51 years later). The 13th-seeded BU BRAVES got no love from the selection committe this year. That's OK - they just went out and took care of business by beating KU and PITT on a neutral court.

O'Bryant (28 points), Ruffin, Sommerville (18 points), Tauai, Franklin, Wright (14 points off the bench), and company led by Jim Les really controlled the inside game today against PITT. Remember these names, BU can go deep into the tourney in this Oakland bracket. Their next opponent is the Memphis Tigers which should make for a good game in Oakland.

BU only shot 37% from the floor but hit 81% from the charity stripe on 26 of 32. They needed those key points against PITT late as the Panthers went into foul mode down the stretch. Bradley is now the first #13 seed since 1999 Oklahoma to make it the regional semifinals. And, this BRAVE team is the first in 51 years to advance to the 3rd round (1955 when there were only 24 teams back then).

What a remarkable season for Bradley. I'm proud of my Alma Mater (a small mid-west school from the MVC). Love Peoria, ILL. It's our first trip to the BIG DANCE in 10 years. This year, we started conference play with a 2 - 4 record before closing strong down the stretch in the tough MVC winning 7 of 8 (only losing to Souther ILL in the conference title game). Go BU! Beat Memphis.
