SgtCarp Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 My favorite day in the college basketball season, short of Selection Sunday. I love seeing these teams people think might make a run out of nowhere in the tournament duke it out on the court.That Drake-Butler matchup should be a good one. IMO, thats a matchup of the two best teams on the slate The reason I am on this earth-Nicole VaidisovaBarack and Roll!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thad Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I was hoping Appalachian would play Winthrop or George Mason. We got Niagra, no offense at all, just not the star name I wanted to play. (Or the RPI team we needed to play) Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% about how you react to it.App State Mountaineers / Alabama Crimson Tide / Atlanta Braves / New York Jets / Atlanta Hawks "If you believe in yourself and have dedication and pride - and never quit, you'll be a winner.

rams80 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Drake-Butler should be EPIC. A certain must see.I'm sort of surprised Bradley got a tv game, although they have been hot lately.

leopard88 Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Some of these games represent great regional matchups, but some others involve a tremendous amount of travel for the middle of conference seasons (Siena at Boise State, Rider at CS Northridge, Kent State at St. Mary's). I wonder if the benefit will outweigh the travel burden in those cases.

I wonder if the benefit will outweigh the travel burden in those cases.Those who're on the road will benefit since they get the home standing teams to come out to their place next season (That rule applies to all BraketBuster matches, televised or not).In the case of CS-Northridge, the game with Rider means a lot since the Matadors haven't played anyone worth a crap this season.For Kent State, it's a chance to actually step up to play a big time mid-major in St. Mary's. Come to think of it, all three MAC East co-leaders have challenging games with Akron hosting VCU and Ohio hosting George Mason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rams80 Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Well....props to basketball juggernaut Drake in beating Butler in midmajor apocalypse.(Has trouble mentally reconciling "Drake" and "basketball juggernaut" in the same sentence)Not sure if I will want to see Bradley on 360 as a result of Daniel Ruffin's indefinite suspension. I sense I know how this game will end now. On 8/1/2010 at 4:01 PM, winters in buffalo said: You manage to balance agitation with just enough salient points to keep things interesting.

Seadragon76 Posted February 24, 2008 Author Share Posted February 24, 2008 It's still early, but who knows? Bradley did beat Drake.Since we talking about Mid-Majors, let me present the 0-29 NJIT Highlanders: Highlanders lose season finale and fall to 0-29What a sad story.

rams80 Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 It's still early, but who knows? Bradley did beat Drake.I was quite happy about that, but then, as I said, Ruffin got arrested last night, effectively ending the Braves' season.
