Moving screen was a biggie - it was part Davis raising his arms but a bigger part SM making it look like he took a punch from Tyson (ala the movie The Hangover).

lol. Funniest comment in the post game on the radio:

Dave: You think Carl (Maniscalco) is happy tonight?

Chuck: Heh. I'd really want to go out with Carl tonight since he's probably going to be buying for everyone!

Do they put the WMBD broadcast into an online archive anywhere? I'd love to listen to Dave's call of the game.

Did you see AT make that good foul on a fast break. Did you see WE mix it up a bit with Tisdale. This is what we've been wanting all year, toughness from our players and they certainly showed it tonight. This game could mean a lot to us come selection Sunday. We represented the Valley BIG TIME tonight. What can I say about SM, he was perfect from the line which is just what we needed, great game. Everyone who played had a good game!

We are too!!! That has to be the biggest shot of his career, and has landed his name on ESPN's College Bball frontpage!

Side Note: I finally learned what "NapTown" means as I was there at a relative's house for Thanksgiving.

Yes. http://www.bradleybraves.com will have it. (Unless there's a technical problem with uploading). Go to the Media link and choose the Audio Archives option.

Nice win guys, congrats!

This has to be Weber's worst nightmare. Since he took over at Illinois, us, you guys, and WSU and all gave him big scares. Now someone from our league finally got it done against them. Way to go! Yes I'm an ISU guy but this is a great win for BU and the Valley.

Congrats again.

[PTTB]

Congrats from the Panther Nation, Bradley fans! Huge win for the Valley tonight. Great day (win/loss wise) for the conference. BU has the best win in the Valley to this point. Hopefully, someone else can get a better one down the stretch, as that would mean the MVC is really going to have a chance to become the multi-bid league it should.

Keep up the good work in the non-con BU. Pumped!
