Most Wins and Most Tourney wins in the Valley

[Bradleyguy10]

You might have a better argument if you went to an isu fan and said we're better because we beat you 56-52 without our best player.

Haha yes that would be a better argument. But for the love of God please do not mention the post season wins.

What I agree with for the post season tournaments the last two years:
1. It was great to have more home games
2. It gave seniors more time to play
3. It gave some more experience for our younger players
4. It gave us some VERY memorable moments..from seeing JC play absolutely out of his mind to the need-not-mention CR buzzer beating shot
5. It was a good choice to play these tournaments. I would not be happy if they turned them down.

What I do not agree with
1. That it gave us the right to brag about (a) post season wins (b) consecutive 21 win seasons

Yes I understand those wins "count", but lets keep it as it is. I really do get a little embarrassed when I see the "stat" that Bradley is up in the top 10 college basketball teams with the most post season wins within the last 4 years with the likes of Kansas, Memphis, etc. It's just plain and simple ridiculous and there's no way to sugarcoat it.

Again congrats to the braves and JL for what they have done given the circumstances because they have had some adversity that is for sure. Let's have a year of great success with no issues.

I understand your point and I don't personally brag about Bradley winning 21 games in a season when they played 38 games, but it remains a fact that Bradley has that many postseason wins. Where isu is concerned, when was the last time they won a couple NCAA Tournament games in the same season? In fact, I believe they're 1-2 in the NIT the last couple years. Maybe they're playing in the wrong tournament. I'm really not sure why some of their fans come off sounding as if their program is too good for the tournaments Bradley has played over that same period.

If you want to look at winning percentage from last year when isu was one of the last great, undefeated teams in the country......they finished at .706 for the season compared to .611 for Bradley. Maybe we should take a look at the way isu schedules? No thanks!

haha yeah...

hands down though 1-2 in the NIT is better than 7-3 in the CBI and CIT.com..by the way 7-3 is a guess

I get what you are saying about the NCAA games but if we are talking about 10 post season wins...it's a little shaddy if 7 of those come from competition that is not as good as the competition in the tourney that gave ISU 1-2. Facts are facts...we do have 10 wins...but facts are still facts when I say 7 of those aren't really worth the same amount. Why not just say 3 and mention who those 3 were against...that's good enough in my opinion.

[real fan]

Hopefully BU will ge getting a lot more wins in the NCAA tour. the next 4 seasons.
