[Old Coach]

This is a "need to win" game.

Very winnable game for BU at home. BU needs to shut down Colt and then overpower their small starting line up, especially without Jahr off the bench. Could be a huge game for TP and WE if they can play smart.

This is a "need to win" game.

Especially since we are just 1 game away from being in 9th place in the Valley...and 1 away from 4th!!!

Maybe the biggest "Valley" game in Geno's tenure. Would love to be going into the weekend game with UNI at 6-6, with another shot at moving up in the Valley.

[real fan]

This is a "need to win" game.

Yes it is, we need to take care of business at home, students the team needs your help.

[Tulsa Brave]

Braves open as a 2 point favorite in Vegas.

Must win game in order to have any chance at not playing on Thurs. night in St.Louis.

[Majik45]

We need to win at least 2 of 3 from Evansville, ISU (blue), and UNI at home in the next 4 games. If we can go 3 for 3, I think we have a great chance of getting out of Thursday.

[Big Mike]

Good win by the Braves......E'ville had me worried for sure!

Hard fought win..nice job Braves...and i think a couple guys who haven't gotten the respect they're due proved their worth tonight

Jake was all over the place...7 pts, 5 rebs (he had 5 at half so I am sure someone doing stats wasn't watching), 4 asst, 3 steals, and another 4 or 5 deflections & good defense...

we still don't get much off the bench - so if anyone wants to dump on Pross then please tell me where'd we be without him - he gave us some good D and 6 pts/3rebs in just 13 minutes..
if we try to go without him - we lose...



BTW - Wichita loses at SIU 64-62, and as I have said all along - someone's getting a good look at tape on Cleanthony Early and suddenly he's a mere mortal -
the other game UNI 48 - Missouri State 37 - and yes, that is the final not the halftime score!
Both teams shot horribly -- UNI hit only 26% from 3-pt but that was almost double what Missouri State hit...and why can't Mark Sonnen go 1-7 against us?

[JMM28]

Good win. It is nice to be winning at home. Are the only two losses Michigan and Wichita? Great to be defending the home court again.

Where is everyone? Echo echo echo

[JMM28]

Without Prosser - it's still a BU win.

Without Bell - I'm not sure. Eastman might still be getting scored on.

[Rusty 54]

Big win. We have taken care of the teams below us, and now we take down one of the mid-tier Valley teams at home.
