OK Shox Nation - here's the best I can do to play cheerleader for you.
2006- BU loses it's 14th MVC game to an awful INSU team. Bradley message boards in meltdown mode. Can't make the tournament. Death to Les.
Fast forward - BU wins its remaining four league games, crushes Tennessee Tech in the Bracketbuster, makes the Arch Madness finals and gets an at-large bid.
Of course, that was in the day that the NCAA would pick a mid-major at-large, until they started embarrassing big schools. But the Shox have a much better conference and overall record than BU did.
Should that scenario play out, Shox are 27-6, likely with an RPI in the mid-hi 30s. I like the chances.
