SS, just a heads up but the Wooden Tradition just schudule was just released. Purdue is play Ball State. Fail.

 

[SelectionSunday]

Thanks mnboiler, I just saw that this morning. Obviously, Painter probably would have preferred a better opponent for the Wooden, but adding Buffalo to fill the Dec. 5 date isn't a terrible trade-off. Buffalo should be pretty good this season, one of the favorites in the MAC.

Do you know if the Wooden Tradition is going to be a doubleheader like usual, or is it just the Boilers-Ball State game? Sounds like it was a real headache to get teams to play in it.

Wrapping up the skeds tomorrow, the Boilers the last of the 73.

Ya Buffalo isn't a terrible trade off but it has to be dissapointing to Painter to come in with the expecation to get a "name team" and end up with Ball State. Is has little impact on the schudule of the Wooden Tradition as it some out fit from Conn. that runs it and also the Wooden Classic in LA.

As for the second game it sounds like there is only one game this year.
