Funny, as I was filling out my bracket, I had the same thought...zero interest in Bradley pulling an upset.

They have the transfer from Seton Hall, one of the Gordon brothers. And they have Nick Robinson from St. Joseph's (former ISU verbal)...both eligible next year. BUT...without Freeman and Smits, not sure it'll be enough.
 
Three in two days for Valpo...

Three starters at that.

Yes, I will be pulling for Bradley. The people who think we should not expand the conference and then root against Bradley winning need to shut their traps.
 
It's not so much that I (personally) am rooting against Bradley, as it is that I'm just indifferent to their appearance in the tourney. Wardle and company screwed the pooch.

With that said, if they defeat Michigan State and then make it to the Sweet 16, I'll certainly take notice and root for the players, sure. It's hard not to cheer for the underdog. But in the meantime, there are many many more games I'm much more interested in.

Wardle grovelling...

Marcus Golder at Valpo is exploring grad transfer options.

That would be FOUR Valpo transfers. Ouch.
