Braves 71 ill 75

[Big Mike]

The game changed when ZA got into foul trouble and we dropped into a zone.........this let them back into the game with a run and gave them confidence! This was our game to win and we let it get away with missed FT's and countless missed bunnies! Danny Ruffin gave CF fits and he could not handle the ball with DR on him!

[Big Mike]

JC 12 in the first half........don't remember him scoring in the 2nd half.....even missing a FT!

[BuBraves55]

well we just simply sucked in the second half

[MacabreMob]

It was a good game.

Period.

[Big Mike]

Braves outscored 43 to 33 in the 2nd half.

We missed to many open shots.And had no inside game at all.

[MacabreMob]

Agreed: Bradley did miss many open shots.

Bradley has a limited inside game.

[Bravesfan]

It was a good game.

Period.

Yes, definately! As I said in the chat, if Bradley can win 11 or so conference games, and a game or two in the Valley tourney, they will be on the NCAA bubble again.

[Bravesfan]

We missed to many open shots.And had no inside game at all.

No we don't. But we knew that going into this season. If our perimeter game can carry us, we can win a lot of games until inside help arrives next year. We'll win our fair share of games. No disrespect to the Valley, but there are not a lot of teams in the Valley with the size and muscle of Illinois.

[bu fan 9]

We played hard the whole game today.

[Bravesfan]

We played hard the whole game today.

Yup! And that will win us a lot of games too!

Still do not feel BU was "exposed" as some like to say. Just think that in the 2nd half they were taken out of their offensive sync and there was a little bit of guys trying to take things on their shoulders. Not nearly as many crisp passes and cuts as we'd seen from them in the 1st 5 games. I don't believe in moral victories, but this wasn't a bad loss.

I also think the Illini have some work to do if they hope to be compete this year.

[BuBraves55]

ya no doubt about that- if they can win the easy non con games- im goin for 21 wins in reg season

Now that I'm quitting the other board....you guys will just have to put up with my ranblings more here.

They have a thread from an Illini fan telling us "what you can kiss"

I told em if its allowed to stay...I'm out. Its still up...so...I'm out.


No inside game....NONE. ZA went back to his old ways. Forced way too much.

Danny looks rusty but still had a decent game.....

5-1. I'll take it but we have work to do.

[bu fan 9]

Yes we got exposed big time but we just have to work on some things and try to keep ZA out of foul trouble.
