They'd get whatever we usually allocate the to away team...what's that, 30 seats tops? Orange out and beat 'em. And no deal with the lousy lions if they don't give us one at home.

Chambers was at an Alumni function at Allenberry last night and mentioned BU was on the schedule for next season, but didn't say any more than that. Considering I hold a degree frm both institutions, this game is one I can't lose (or can't win, depending on how you look at it). Anyway, it's a game that should be played every year, and I'm so glad Chambers isn't chickening out like Dechellis did, and a trip to Lewisburg mixed in! I like PC... I like him even more if they agree to it, but like you I'll believe it when I see it.

Thanks LU65. That seemed to be the likely destination and now it's confirmed. This means BU's season will start really early, since the first game with either Purdue, Alabama, Villanova, or Oregon State will be played between November 9th (Friday) and 11th (Sunday). Then the Bison would play a round robin with three other teams - probably on the following Friday through Sunday (11/16-18).
With Hofstra having participated last year, it would not surprise me to see them hosting a sub-regional. If so, I'd be very happy to see BU playing there.

Niagara board believes they are a sub-regional host and that they open with Villanova. still hoping Princeton is in the field and hosts us for the sub-reg. not sure on preference for opening game, someone beatable, but don't know enough to say who that might be.

One beatable team should be Villanova - coming off a bad year and having their two top scorers (Wayns and Cheek) both declare for the NBA draft. My guess, however, would be that Jay Wright blocked the Bison as a possible opponent.
Alabama was strong this past year and returns most of their team. However they lose both of their All-SEC players - one of whom was a senior and one who was suspeneded for the last part of the year and is now transferring. Thus they are likely to be worse.
Purdue of course was very good this year, but they lose arguably their three best players (Hummel, Jackson, and Smith), so they will likely be worse.
As for Oregon State, they were fairly good this year and lost in the semis of the hokey CBI tournament. They would have returned virtually their whole team, but their star 2G Jared Cunningham (All PAC-12 first team) declared for the NBA draft. Thus they will likely be fairly good again next year, but not a lot better.
Based on the above, I don't think any of the four 2K Classic opponents are likely to be as strong as Vandy or Marquette were the past two years.

I am very happy to see that Bucknell will be participating in another tournament next season. This seems to be the only way for a decent Mid Major to get bigger schools to play them.
Also, I like the three games in a weekend format. It gives the hardcore fan (a.k.a. BRW) the chance to see multiple games.
GO BISON!

In response to JDBison2010
Pat Chambers: "Hmmmm...I think we'll take that game in Sojka AFTER Muscala, Willman and Johnson graduate."
I'm pleased this is a reasonable 2-for-1 deal (vs 3-1 or something).

Hell, that's the way I would prefer it from our standpoint. We should beat them in their house this season. I'd rather get them at home when we're weaker.

Was Chambers on the bench for Villanova's visit to Sojka? If he was you couldn't help but love that atmosphere for a college basketball game!

I heard that BU is definitely playing Missouri. There are unconfirmed rumors about a game with Harvard as well.

Thanks. That's the day after Thanksgiving, so there should be plenty of available tickets. I'd like to hope that the game in Sojka will take place when students on our campus, but I am not optimistic about that.
Also, did you hear any other news from the golf outing?
