Pivotal stretch: Radford won't leave the state of Virginia in February, playing six home games while making trips to Liberty and VMI. The Highlanders went 7-1 in that month in '09 to secure the top seed (and home court) in the Big South tournament.
You have to like those odds and venues to place us in a position to get hot and run the table in the conference tourney again. Sick.

From todays B Rad
Forgot to write in last week’s B-Rad that I received news our December 9 matchup with Kansas at Phog Allen Fieldhouse will be nationally televised on ESPNU. Kansas looks to be a pre-season #1 team in many polls and rankings.

i hit up dukeblueplanet on twitter, dukeblueplanet.com is like an official site for the duke bball team.....anyways i asked if they knew if the RU/Duke game will be on tv, and they said it is still to be determined, so i guess that means..........there's still a chance! ;D

article from august about our schedule blogs.roanoke.com/rtblogs/courtside/2009/08/12/greenberg-brothers-talk-schedules/"......Meanwhile, Radford's schedule includes a game as part of ESPN's annual "BracketBusters" extravaganza. That is a reversal from last season. Brad Greenberg wanted no part of BracketBusters last summer when the league office asked him if RU wanted to be considered by the Big South for one of the Big South's 2208-09 slots. "I didn't want to have another possible road game thrown into the middle of the season," Brad told me in February about why he didn't want to be considered for the 2008-09 season's BracketBusters So why was he willing to do BracketBusters this coming season? Well, Radford won the Big South title in March. And the league office wanted its defending champ to be one of the Big South teams in BracketBusters. "At our league meetings, before I had even gotten our schedule close to finalized for the coming year, they had said to us, 'Hold open a game. Since you won the league, you've got to be available for BracketBusters this year. We want to be able to give them the names of teams that we think are going to be strong in our league so that if any of those teams are having a good season, there's potential for one of those teams to be in a significant BracketBusters matchup that might warrant TV,' " Brad said Wednesday. "That's the benefit of being in it, if you actually get a TV game." Brad did not know at the time if RU would be home or away for BracketBusters, but he agreed. "This was the year to to do it without worrying about whether it was home or away because Navy, William and Mary and George Mason all had to return games to us this year," Brad said. "I knew I was going to have some home games." Well, Radford has indeed been awarded a home game for BracketBusters -- but doesn't yet know who it will host or if the game will be on TV. Last season only 13 of the 51 BracketBusters games were televised; three Big South teams were among the 102 teams involved. "We should have a good team, so this coming season, I think it's a nice to thing to have another possible really interesting home game in the middle of the year that might even be attractive for a TV game," Brad said. I talked to VMI coach Duggar Baucom, and he again had no interest in being considered for BracketBusters. Radford's schedule also includes home games against ODAC foes Roanoke College and Lynchburg, which will help balance out those three road games (and likely losses) against Duke, Louisville and Kansas. Radford is picking up $240,000 for the latter three games." $240K is a nice pickup

Fresh, Klep, or Rick, have you guys heard about any dedmon upgrades for this year? new video scorers tables? new sound system? anything? From my understanding, they are going to wait a tad bit longer until get going on Phase 2 (which last I heard included LED boards and little things like that). I'd still like to see a permanent seating bowl, seeing how the arena is for D1 athletics only and well every bleacher in there has been broken by yours truly and others on here (by accident of course). Improved lighting was included in phase 1, I know that.

ODU would make sense for geographic reasons (we should be playing two/three of them, JMU, Mason, W&M and VCU every year). A RU-Drake match-up, I could see being on TV. I wouldn't mind us playing College of Charleston or Nevada.
