Bradley at Northern Iowa Wednesday 7:05 pm

[Big Mike]

I think we have to get SM back involved with the offense....its time for him to get double digits again and take some heat off the other players on O'! TW and DD will get their pts and anything from the post would be a bonus...might be a game to play AT a couple of minutes in the 1st half...I think we will have many fouls in the paint on this game!

I've seen Eglseder play several times and havent been impressed....I'd rather get beat by him then let there 3 point shooters go wild.

I'm more in this camp as well. I'd rather turn UNI into a 1 dimensional offense rather than let them establish an inside out game. Stay at home on the shooters, and crash the boards when Eglseder does shoot. Maybe show double on Eglseder when he puts the ball on the floor, but if he picks it up, get back home on the shooter, but I wouldn't all-out double him on the catch. He's too big to double off the catch, and would be able to pass out of the double team too easily in my opinion, especially when our double would come in the form of a 6'4" player at best.

First day of classes...we need to school these guys and get back to playing the way we were, and take the MVC lead.

5 Starters, 5 averaging double figures the last time I looked. I don't think we can double-team anyone.

I think you're right.

BU wins by 11 tonight if they play the full 40 min.'s like the last 10 at SIU.
Got to work the ball inside and DC and SS have to respond. Remember we played better and won early when SS scored and had good games. Make the FT's and Don't turn the ball over Play our good D We Win Tonite Back to First Place GO BU

[Big Mike]

listening to the pre-game Dave Snell said DN is starting tonight? I wonder who is out?

Probably Collins.

[InMnBob1]

On the radio pre-game the coach mentioned a new starting lineup for the Braves. All I heard was that DN is starting. Did anyone get the details?

[ph]

DD's also starting...

my guess is Edge and CR are out, but not sure..

[sam hannam]

They just played the Shuffle on channels 44 & 74.

As I predicted a while ago SM would be out of the line-up
