Saturday is a Must Win

[chitown fanatic]

Drake is down and needs to be kicked further down the standings. We can't afford to go to CU at 7-6...need this in the worst way. It really would have helped had Drake won last night and SIU had won too. Now we are trailing ISU in home/road differential at +1 to +2 for ISU, we'll need a big roadie to help in any tiebreaker scenario with them. as much as I wouldn't mind e-ville in the 4-5 and then UNI, getting that 2 or 3 seed and letting ISU fight it out with someone else in the other bracket is my main concern.

Drake has lost 5 home games this year, so Bradley has a decent shot.

I think Bradley already blew their last two chances at making the #2 or #3 seed. Unless they go on a road run and the other two falter, it doesn't look good. I'd feel more confident winning at Creighton if BU had won there this decade.

I've started making my plans for Bradley to be playing at 2:35pm on Friday for the forth year in a row. If BU does get the Aces, there won't have to be to much film watching since it would be the 3rd game in three weeks (thanks MVC).

I agree -- MUST WIN! Drake is really not that good this year.....and last year was a fluke, IMO.

Drake definitely isn't playing well right now. I haven't seen Bradley play this year, but I'd pick BU to win the game.

DUBulldog,

Is this some of your famous "karma" working already?

See you on saturday at the West End.

I think the game is a toss up. Who knows what to expect.

No karma at work here.....I honestly wonder if Drake will win another game this season. Best chance is SIU in Des Moines later this month.

See you at the West End.

BU loses this game. I foresee up by 15 with 5 minutes left and we try to run the clock down on every possession and we're held scoreless in those last minutes accounting for our 3rd straight lose due to terrible offensive strategy when the game is on the line.

When did we hire Ron Turner as Offensive coordinator?

Les certainly won't pull that AGAIN- Drake won't beat us--I agree, we are up by 15 with 5 minutes left...but win by 17...

Even though I was not impressed with the way the offense worked at the end of the UNI game, I think defense is what cost BU the game. This team has significantly imporved it's defense this year. Props to the staff and team for that. I will give UNI credit for hitting 5 of 6 3 pointers down the stretch, but BU could have played better defense.....I think the staff would say the defense was the culprit.

Now if Drake comes back from 15 points to win in the last 5 minutes, I think the defense not the offense will be the culprit. 16+ points in 5 minutes is a lot of points.

BU can win this game, but road wins are not easy. I just hope BU plays with intensity, rebounds, plays defense and they will have a shot. This team is clearly offensively challenged. I'll take another Singh put back for a winner....just like at Wichita.
