Yes it is. 2nd win against an upper level team for us if you count Evansville. Great to see that the home court advantage is back for the most part. Now to win a game or two on the road next week!

I like Bradley to win.

Call it a hunch.

Great call maybe you should have been a ref instead of a coach.lol

Great win, and a very entertaining game to watch!
The way Bradley came out in the 2nd half I felt there was no way they could lose this game.
Frankly, I can't see that Indiana State has any better talent than Bradley, and today our talent came together and looked really good. Let's keep this trend going!

Best game our guys have played all year - Indiana State played well and even shot close to 60% in the 1st half and we kept playing with 'em and outhustled them down the stretch... I hope we see more of Ka'Darryl Bell.
I'll take our bigs over theirs any game....
..and 10-8 could be good enough for 3rd place - GO BRAVES!

... I hope we see more of Ka'Darryl Bell.

I think we will. Jalen Crawford had a bad game, and has not played well for several games. Let's hope he can get it together, but in the mean time, Ka'Darryl has made his case for more playing time. He had 10 points today, which is more than he has had in the last 12 games combined!

I wouldn't mind seeing a lineup of Bell-Lemon-DSE provided DSE is healthy.

Good win. It is nice to have a strong record at home. Usually that is the key to winning MVC titles. Protect home court at a good percentage and beat bad teams on the road should put you right in the hunt.

Also it is amazing what happens when a team shoots 52.6% from the field. Everything looks better.

DSE had 3 steals officially at half and he had 2 or 3 more in the 2nd half - but the official box has him with four

Crawford was 6-12 the last 4 games before ISUBlue.....so not too bad really

I think JC gets a little bit of a bad rap sometimes. It seems he's called in to be a shooter....and looks bad if he misses his first shot or two....I think he gets a little anxious but I think he's got a nice shot with good elevation.....

I think Geno is playing them about right depending on the situation....hopefully they both develop some consistency

Did not expect a W' today when I entered the arena.....DSE not expected to play on the pre-game radio show...TP going down with what looked like a season ending knee injury.....my player of the game KB who stole the show with the big three and the awesome steal on the INS rolling ball in-bound play, getting the called time-out which got the crowd standing was the turning point to the game IMO!

Great game, great win!
Congrats to Walt for going Over the 1,000 point total.

He's (DSE) getting robbed!

Funny you mention that... I had just gotten certified with the IHSA when a buddy of mine asked me if I wanted to be an assistant on his staff. My officiating career never went a step further.

[Old Coach]

I like Bradley to win.

Call it a hunch.

I never doubted it for a moment.
