I found it strange that Indiana State had 4 of their starters in the game until the buzzer, even though Coach Les pulled most of Bradley's starters with several minutes left when Bradley stretched out to it's biggest lead of 19 points. That resulted in a 12 point margin when it wouldn't have been that close.
Jim Les made a concerted effort to stay off of the refs.
Dave Vroman and the band had a bad night.
Even the cheer coach was struggling to get people in the right place. If you haven't watched him, do it next game. I didn't know he actually told them what to do with hand signals and such. He was coaching one of his guys on the proper use of the shirt gun
No coupons from the blimp. Wah?
Music for the intro was way too soft. Turn it up or don't play it.
The little girl cheated on jump jack & jive, and the guy on the BWW shot must have been drunk.
Anthony Thompson did nothing to earn more minutes.
In other words, it was a clunky night for everyone.
This was a real hard game to watch. Other than Sam M flurry of baskets at the end of the half it seemed to me there absolutely no flow.
IndST passed so poorly it was hard for BU to make the steal..and yet Snell kept saying they played better this game...Other than a few possessions I thought they were terrible
The game just gave me a headache.....I don't know there didn't seem to be alot of positives other than we won which is good...
They had 13 tO's and 9 baskets in the first half...ugh
Even though DC was not that successful he was fighting for the ball. When he learns not to bring the ball down and turn into the double team he'll be what we need. He really went after the ball today. It was nice to see our guys look for the inside pass because it really opened up our shooting. Also it was also good to see EM take those open shots at the top of the key.
If we play like wedid today and clean up a bit of the sloppy play we could suprise a few people.
The refs were good today and they let the guys play for the most part! That is all I ask, win or lose. We must have had the A team today.

BRADLEY BASKETBALL GAME RECAPPEORIA, Ill. ? Bradley sophomore guard Sam Maniscalco scored 11 points off the bench, six on a pair of momentum-changing 3-pointers at the end of the first half, and the Braves returned home from the only three-game conference road swing any team in the Missouri Valley Conference will face this season to down Indiana State 68-56 in front of 11,033 fans Saturday night at Carver Arena.? Bradley (12-8, 6-3 MVC) remained in a tie with rival Illinois State for second place in The Valley standings heading into Wednesday night's home game versus Wichita State.
I am happy with a win, but I don't think this win was that easy. This is a team we should have handled easily from the get go. We struggled early on offense again and our fts still leave something to be desired.
I do like how we came out in the second and built on the lead. As I said earlier in the year, this team is young and there will be some growing pains. Hopefully we can figure out some of our problems and win a few games we aren't suppose to win!
A win is a win is a win.......
Go BU!!!!
Some see a hopeless end, while others see an endless hope.
I love the fact that we shot 57% FG for the game but once again left way way way to many IN. State players open for 3's and several offensive boards. In. State shot 30+ 3's, had that been a good 3 point shooting team, we would of been dead in the water from all the open looks. Also missed another 9 FT's for 55% on Free Throws. That's not going to get it done. It might of been contributed to lack of concentration due to this being easy competition but going to need to pick it up this next few games. Another must win on Wednesday and then 2 crucial possibly league deciding games after that.
Really not much to say on this one. We did nothing special. Nothing newsworthy. Just a nice simple stress-free win against a team we should beat. Sometimes the quietest nights are the most enjoyable of all.
Bradley got off to a slow start, could have been because they just beat Ind.St. fairly easy on the road , once again the team played better with Singh at center or with Brown and Wilson at the forward spots without a center, Collins had a bad night once again as he could not hold onto passes or rebounds, good win and were never really challenged in the last 15 minutes.
