Wow ... all the cactus juice you can drink on me ... what a ******* game!!!!!!!!

Unbelievable toughness by our guys. I honestly was afraid that the BU team didn't have it in them to come back and win after being down by 5 with a few minutes to go. Amazing for them to do that. Everything we felt the team was missing in the previous games---they had IT for those last few minutes.

A big thanks to HoopsTV for the Free feed tonight!

Indeed. I think they were selling DVDs of the Vegas games. I'm definitely putting down some money to remember this one.

How bout DSE.....3 steals tonight!

great comments by the players on the post game, paraphrasing here, this was not a championship, we are going to enjoy it, and know that the rest of the valley will not give us anything for this, other than preparing harder knowing we can play well.

[Looking Up]

That Was Fun

Way to gut out a tough win! We are hooping it up here in sunny Florida!

Let this huge win give us the confidence to compete for the remainder of
the season.

Congrats to all Bradley fans!!

Well I couldn't get the feed, but if they are selling DVD's, I'm definitely buying one! Or two or more!

I've waited 35 years for this! BRADLEY BEATS ILLINOIS! 72-68. This is one of the greatest games in MY Bradley basketball history. It ranks right up their with the Sweet 16 and NIT Championship.

Great points, and you know I'm already dreading the NIU game next week. Classic trap game! We have to play with the same intensity there as we did tonight, no exceptions! A loss won't kill the season, but it would certainly take away the momentum from tonight. Hopefully with Peoria being so close our fans can easily outdraw the NIU fans who don't draw all that well, like we did against Loyola last year up here in Chicago.

Just got back from BWW - nice win...

and I have to say 3 things...

--great, great win and the guys played hard to get it - but it sure makes me wonder how good BU can be if we actually put it all together and play a really good game!

--did anyone else get the feeling the stripes tried hard to help UIUC get this one? especially that last foul call on WE - some of those fouls were completely non-existent!

--this is the best win for the Valley to date....but it'll be another 30 years before Illinois will ever play us again!
