BU wins 84-83 details to follow

[Da Coach]

Taylor Brown is again the star of the game. Last second tip-in for the win!

[planaria]

Bradley won with a last second tip in from Taylor Brown.

Looks like the crowd loved Bradley reaction (they??re down by 7 with 1:30 to go).


Really nice victory. Braves just need to win Paulistano to advance to Copa EPTV final.

Congrats, Braves...a close, hard fought win helps us more....
sounds like Will Egolf couldn't go much tonight...but TB is a stud!!

in the words of planaria.......

"Bradley 84 x 83 Lupo/Araraquara, com um tapinha no ??ltimo segundo de Taylor Brown."

a tip-in at the ultimate (last) second from Taylor Brown!



note-- 100 people online presently to catch the results....a great bunch of Bradley fans!!

[planaria]

Looks like Taylor Brown and Sam Maniscalco were the guy tonight. Tomorrow at afternoon, we will have in Draft Brasil an article with a small post-game interview with Jim Les in audio (in english).

Thanks for all the great info guys.... we all know where to come for our Bradley Braves information!

And how cool is this to be getting online to get the BU basketball score in August? We've now had basketball in April and August, possibly the first times BU has played in months that begin with "A".

Great news! Congrats Braves! But that's not encouraging news to hear about Egolf . I hope the staff is just being overly cautious.

[MacabreMob]

Holy....

Wow!

Down 7 with 90 secs to go... tip-in at buzzer and win.

The guys gotta feel good with that finish. Way to go!

[peoriaspitfire]

WOW - TB the star again! I can't wait for the season to start! I would pay some $'s for some bootleg video of all the games down there...someone on the Bu side must be taping???

[tornado]

we have a couple "contacts" in Sao Carlos...we should have some story and pics by tomorrow..

I believe you are correct.
Bradley played Tulsa on March 31, April 2, and April 4 of 2008 in the CBI.


The latest Bradley had played before 2008 was March 31, 1951 when they lost to Syracuse in the title game of the National Campus Tournament, and March 28, 1950, when they lost in the NCAA championship game to CCNY.

I cannot find that Bradley has ever played in August. They did play 11 games during a 2-week tour of Italy in July of 1985, but they returned before the month of July ended.

[Beninator]

Great game experience in AUGUST! I'll take that. I am curious to see what AT did tonight as well.
