Braves win 68-59!!!!!

[BuB]

Very entertaining game, very happy with the W'.....but what was up with the refs?? Some very suspect calls to say the least! The charge call on DSE was horrible!

It looked like that ref with the colored/highlighted hair did our game again. It also looks like he spends some time in the tanning beds. Has he done like 3 of our last 5 home games? How many times have we had him this year?

[LittleBrave]

the only negative was the court rush IMO

Yeah - it doesn't get much weaker than that! AW was almost left jumping around by himself.

BuB.....Is he the ref they call "BAYWATCH"?

I asked about him awhile ago. John Higgins. He does prime time Big XII games also.

Future Walk-on, you and I may not see eye to eye on a bunch of things but we agree on this. If we had the crowd that we had against ISU then at least storming the court would've been worth it but with 40 students that just was horrible. We lost to this team by a three by Moran at the end of the game last year and after losing by two against this team at their place, this was very winnable anyways and storming the court was not necessary

yeah. although i disagree and think we only disagree on a few things

[BU since 1989]

would just like to say that by chanting "overrated" and then storming the court basically is saying "we are bad and we beat you!" It was very embarrassing and i would hope that Bradley fans would have a little bit more dignity than that! Can we act like we have won a big game before? Or can we atleast act like we expected to win this game which was very winnable for us!!!!

I would give the gameball to C-Rob for coming to play and not backing down today. He looked pretty good going to the basket today - hasn't gone well for him all year in doing that. He made some nice hoops in the 1st half to keep them in the game. Then he hit a clutch fade-away to halt the UNI run with about 3 to go.
Great D as usual. Pretty solid D all around by BU!!!

Thought the overrated chant was stupid but how bout some props for the crowd? Most everyone I saw was standing all of the second half. Was a great atmosphere. My non BU friend thought it was hilarious
how everyone would groan and say no every time SS got the ball though

That name sure fits this guy. Not sure I have ever seen a referee groupie but I suppose they are out there. Maybe thats why he likes Peoria It seems like we have had him alot at home recently.

Must admit...I thought I knew BU history but was unaware that today was the 1st ever victory in Carver Arena over a Top 25 team?

How about that swat on jordan eglseder? That was IMO the play of the game. Really set the tempo for the second half.

Haha we still laugh at the game when EM had the ball at the top of the key and lined up like he was gonna pop it and it was pretty quite and you could distinctly hear a nnooooo from the student section.

It all comes down to the knowledge of the student section. Some kids come to act like the stereotypical student section...but don't really know anything about their team. The paint themselves...lead chants....jump up and down and say "ooooooooooooooo". but they really don't have a clue what it going on in the game or what the game means. I prefer to analyze the game and figure out what each team is thinking rather then act like a lunatic.

I agree with the rushing the court. One of my friends was trying to convince me to do it because well...he sits up in the front...and I was begging them not to do it because we NEED to expect to win these games...it shouldn't be an upset. Some of the people I was with did go but I didn't feel the occasion called for it.

It was a great game and a great half of basketball. Held them scoreless the first 4 minutes of the 2nd and towards the end of the game we didn't run around on offense like chickens with our heads cut off. Excellent job. NOW PLEASE can we do this consistently??!! I'm begging.

And I won a bet on this game....good day!
