Bring your own band
The official announcment comes at 4 this afternoon, but according to Dave Reynolds of the Peoria Journal Star, the TV dates for Bracket Buster Saturday were set yesterday.

Reynolds' source apparently is Bradley athletics director Ken Kavanagh, whose team did not get a TV date.

According to Reynolds, as many have been speculating, Bucknell will be at Northern Iowa. That is an interesting matchup in lots of ways. For starters, Northern Iowa's AD, Rick Hartzell, used to hold that job at Bucknell. In fact, he is the guy who hired Pat Flannery as Bucknell's coach.

And then there is UNI's pep band, which dawned hastily created orange T-shirts and learned the Bucknell pep song, filling in for the Bison's absentee band when both teams were in Oklahoma City for the first weekend of the NCAA Tournament last March.

Something tells us we won't hear a lot of 'Ray Bucknell out of the UNI band this time.
