Keep waiting. Not ready this year and they're senior dominant with everyone returning next season. Maybe in 2020

Why is that? Bradley finished tied for 6th last year and a 6th place finish this year would be "a major step up" after replacing Wichita with Valpo? Please explain!

Giving up on the last comments from me to you?

This is why it's a step up and it's self explanatory, especially the play in game comment...

That was specifically in response to the war on 74 being competitive. Bradley is going to lose both this season and both next season to isur. 2020 is up for grabs though! As for this conference season I think Bradley goes 8-10 at best.

I'm guessing most Bradley fans would not consider another 6th place finish to be "a major step up". That's what I'm saying. We'll just have to disagree on that.

I agree with both of you. Like Bradley Fan 71 said, If Bradley finishes 6th again this year their fans will not feel happy or as if it is a major step forward. On the other hand, I agree with the Redbird posters who think they will finish playing on Thursday again which will make Brave fans start to question Wardle.

I hesitate even posting this but it’s not intended to be a troll: https://sports.yahoo.com/ranking-colleg ... 30364.html

I expected to see the MVC at #8 and then was shocked when I didn’t even see them at #9. Might be worth an e-mail to the writer to figure out what his methodology is because it’s not RPI or KenPom. The article would trigger me if I were a member of an MVC school.
