Well, this has turned into a must win for the Braves. You keep losing games at home in the manner they have, then they have to win very difficult games on the road that they most likely won't win. If they win this game, great! They get to that 2-1 mark I was expecting, just doing it the hard way.

Show us what you are made of Braves!

This will be a tough game.....WS just beat Drake 61-38 tonight

Yeah, but that wasn't all WSU. Drake is absolute sewage right now. Even we beat them going away at their place. That says a lot considering how bad we have been lately!

Yep, as I mentioned in another thread, Bradley could very easily be 1-7 in another 2 weeks. Missouri State twice, Wichita State, N. Iowa, Southern IL and In. State on the slate. The pitchers & catchers countdown might be starting very early this yr.

Wichita St out-rebounded Drake 44-21 last night. Good thing for Drake that WSU had 23 TOs or the Shockers would have won 30+.

[jasonpeoria911]

Not sure that's a good thing since we were even with Drake in rebounds and i'm sure Wichita St is goin to put on the pressure D after last nights debacle.

Sounds like AT has to step it up in practice, SS needs to produce in the minutes played in games and MK needs to learn what the team is doing to det back on the court!

And what is self-punishment for coaching your way out of multiple home game double digit leads?


I fully expect a blowout...

It's real difficult to go out and play after yet another letdown...maybe if we're lucky, by Tue we'll get another speech about how the guys won't be allowed to wear their Bradley gear and need to work harder in practice when what is really needed is someone to have their BU funded vehicle and their BU funded polos and suits away...

It's not always the players fault...otherwise, why would there even be a need for coaches or coaching staffs?

You sub, you call plays...there are mirrors you can look in

[BradleyBrave]

BU teases for a bit...then gets blasted. Opening line +9.5. Hit the over 127.5 if you want to make money...

I suggest a parlay with ISU -5 vs SIU. (taking the BU/WSU Over with ISU -5)

I expect a blow out too. So lets see whats a moral victory here. They scored 87 vs. Alcorn St. so keep them below 87 and stay within 20 on the boards. Lofty goals but attainable.

I played many sports over the years...I have never once believed in moral victories

We have no chance as Taylor Brown will not be playing today for whatever reason.
