Michigan MBB to Play Home-and-Home w/ Bradley
Bradley basketball coach Geno Ford said in a chat with the Peoria (Ill.) Journal Star on Monday that he has a verbal agreement with Michigan for a home-and-home series beginning in December 2011] in Ann Arbor.
The return game in Peoria will be during the 2012-13 season. Presumably Dec 2012.
There will be a familar face on the sidelines for those games. Beilein's son, Patrick Beilein, is the new director of basketball operations at Bradley.
Helping out his son is cool with me. Good experience by all
I really like it when major, BCS-conference programs visit mid-major powerhouses during the regular season.
he is a great guy! His team will come to play and will be very "gritty" as thats the type of player Ford was at Ohio U. Glad to hear about this home and home, there will be a lot of great character kids from both teams on the floor that day.
You mean RPI, right?
Too bad we're playing in Peoria, rather than Petoria, in the annexed Johoio.
Back when the show was actually breaking new grounds. I miss those days; the 'formula' is now tried-and-true and more than a little predictable.
Our whole darn team is playing Shawn Bradley? The retired exceedingly tall dude?
I like our chances.
