Ever hear of a clean slate 0-0 reset against a depleated team at home? I don't think anyone picking the Trees are thinking they will be contenders this year.

Boy, after seeing ISU lose at home to Charleston Southern, I really look forward to seeing ISU finish top 5! See, anybody can take a one game sample and make a team look bad! And I’m not advocating for Bradley here,
I still believe that they will struggle on the road. But, I think it’s a little silly to take a one game sample and write them off.

The Redbird fan's quote above is very confusing. At first he rips on Bradley for getting blown out to Ole Miss, but then suggests avoiding Thursday night for the first time in years...

If I was a Bradley fan, I think I would take 5th/6th considering this:

"Bradley — a team that hasn’t won a conference title since 1996, hasn’t finished higher than fourth since 2001 and has started this tournament (Arch Madness) in the play-in round seven years in a row" - Kirk Wessler, March 2017

Charleston Southern was an abberation. Milik Yarbrough was benched to prove a point that it's not all about him, leaving us with 6-7 scholarship players that included end of bench players and a walk on.
Bradley has been blown out by it's two toughest teams they have faced this year. The rest have been cupcakes. Not really a one-off abberation if you ask me with Ole Miss.
Generally speaking, 5th or 6th would be dreamland for Bradley this year avoiding the play-in rounds for the first time in 8 years...
