Pete Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Since we're all looking for various amusements, I thought I'd get this going. Ever wonder how your college basketball team did against other DVDVR denizens? Well, wonder no more. Punch your school in, add someone else's from here and watch the sparks fly. Ex. I plug in my school (Bradley) vs @DEAN's (VCU) and get the following results: Year Date Schl Rk. Opp Rk. PTS OPP MOV OT 2007-08 2007-12-22 Bradley Virginia Commonwealth L 64 79 -15 2006-07 2007-02-17 Bradley @ Virginia Commonwealth W 73 64 9 1989-90 1989-12-14 Bradley @ Virginia Commonwealth L 66 89 -23 1988-89 1989-02-08 Bradley Virginia Commonwealth W 75 70 5 So, 2-2 overall. Of course we won the game that mattered (the BRACKET BUSTERS matchup that aired on ESPN in 2007). So what you got? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfan in NYC Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Columbia lost to Bradley in the only game they've played in 1973. They've never played George Mason, nor have they played Va Commownealth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not an alum of Mason Of course - Columbia has never played American either I am a little surprised about both schools never playing Columbia since they aren't that far apart and usually teams like using a "big city" as an excuse to visit. Like when I was in school, AU got "named" opponents because teams wanted to play a couple of games in DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 The fact that it was in the NIT makes it a victory for AU I can't remember off the top of my head if it was 82 or 83 was the year AU upset Georgetown and John Thompson vowed to never play them again (and he was true to his word) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuetsar Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Idaho State hasn't played any of those schools. Not that it's a surprise given that they are usually dogshit, and scheduling east coast games makes zero sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 (edited) I'd imagine it's not fair for Mark (Odessa) or me to bring up IU, but I also feel like IU has sucked more than they've been good so who knows. EDIT: This has to be recency bias over how close to .500 they've been each season for a little bit now. Bring back the Tom Crean years.

I like that: fairly even but WSU has the edge, as it should be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People don't realize how huge Bradley basketball was, especially in the 50s... #1 in the country a bunch of times, with multiple NIT titles back before that brand got diluted. Robertson Fieldhouse was the Cameron of its day- an absolute hellhole to play in, with a Vandy-style setup (raised floor, teams on opposite baselines). We finished there with a record of exactly 400-100 before moving downtown. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are probably College Park grads here, so that’s one big win against the Hoosier alumni. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on a couple minutes of googling, I can find no evidence that they have played the Alma Scots at any point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
