"The 2009 ESPNU BracketBusters series is a two-day men’s college basketball extravaganza pitting potential NCAA Tournament hopefuls against each other and will feature 13 nationally televised games."

Hmm..apparently someone believes in the Jacks! Forget all this "just get by to get in the conference tournament". You men can do it and go all the way! Hell yeah!

Re: Jacks in ESPN Bracket Buster in February

Its not a tournament as much as a chance for ESPN to showcase some of the mid major talent out there that has potential for making the dance. Its two nights of wall to wall basketball around the country.

There wouldn't be selfish reasons involved with those choices would there?

I was thinking Bradley, or Illinois St. would be nice for me. Too bad they don't have home games this year.

We will be a road team, playing at another university. I think the pairings will be announced in early February. The team may know about it before the news is released. Whatever school that is, will have agreed to come to Frost Arena early in the following year.
