A little sloppy but a win is a win and the win was never in doubt! Let's get ready for the next most important game. Keep it rolling!

[BU RICK]

It wasn't a very inspiring game. But it's still a win. Maybe it was because Evansville didn't expect to win and we feed off that for our play. It seemed to me that both teams came out looking tired, just kind of walking around with slouched shoulders, maybe it's the weather, maybe it's what some call the' trap game' mindset, maybe looking forward to CU Wednesday. We'll definitely need to play better to beat CU Wednesday.

W is a W. Did like the crowd today tho, student section filled up quite nicely. Good win today Braves. Now go get Creighton

[Da Coach]

Another solid game by each starter, and good games off the bench by Sam singh, DSE, and Jake Eastman.

With ISU's loss, Bradley is now tied for 3rd place, and with Wichita State's loss, anything is possible.

I heard fans talking about winning out being a possibility! Bradley has 5 more home MVC games (ISU, WSU, CU, DU, and UNI) and road games at Indiana State, Evansville, ISU, and CU. I think winning 7 of the 9 is quite realistic, and the way BU is playing, all are winnable.

When will we see the column saying, "Ooops, we were wrong, the best was yet to come".

[Big Mike]

I'll take any W' we can get ...they all count the same now!

[flipper]

looking at the schedule i see a long winning streak in our immediate future.

Nice crowd today...WE had an even better game than the box score indicated.

Still not sure what SS gives you that AT couldn't.

Wonder what's going on with EM. DSE and JE appear to have passed him up.

Starters logged too many minutes against a team like Evansville. We should have put them away earlier and been able to coast.

But, a win is a win. Let's take 3rd all alone on Wednesday.
