Final- Illinois State 77 Bradley 83

[SFP]

I can't see this being that big of an issue since it does tend to get pretty warm at times in late February and early March as our season comes to an end. I would think there would have been some issues during the NIT, CBI and CIT in the past.

Every year this tends to been issue during the month of February for a week, due to the yearly early spring tease. Also, there are other things that have in the past created those dangerous slick spots besides warm weather. The ice under the floor is not a good thing at Carver. I know there are a few arenas that have ice under their floors as well and I've never heard that they experience the same issue as frequently.

True, but I just care about the BU home games and the crowd being taken out of the games, which they are during the goofy promotions.

Meant to say on my last post that tonight will be a good test for the crowd and our home court advantage.

Right about the promotions. I know they bring in the money, but maybe there is a better way. I recently went to a Northwestern game, and they have the same type of "minor league" promotions up there too. Do all the BCS teams have these same promotions, and if not, how do they raise revenue? And if they do, how come their crowds get right back into the game, other than the obvious winning programs they mostly consistently have?

It's getting to be an older stadium now. Not that 30+ years old is ancient, but probably not as good technology as is available now.

So is there not a video feed on Bradley All-Access for this game? All I can find is the live audio, which I coulda got for free from the WMBD website.

No they don't. They raise revenue by filling their arenas every game.

What is best in life? To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women.

Great job by Bradley finding the toughness to hang in and come back to win.

55 points in the second half!! Nice work, Braves!! I think the bb team has turned a corner. They learned a lesson in the WSU drubbing. Gonna finish in the middle of the pack. Can't wait until next year!!!

Tremendous effort by the 3 seniors, and Walt and TP.
But the "game ball" goes to the BU students- they turned out in huge numbers tonight and really made a difference, IMO. When Bradley got down by 16 points in the first half, they might have folded if not for the unwavering support of the fans, especially the students.
This kind of win can help boost a team, and after the last 2 road losses, I think it will. Our next game is at Creighton, so that might be tough, but I expect to see the same kind of effort!
