Final: Bradley 80 Indiana State 68

I think it is reasonable to expect us to win 3 of the last 4. 2 would be a bit of a disappointment.

I don't look at 2 as being a huge disappointment. The game at Drake being the key. I don't expect us to beat Creighton, although it is a home game and I think we'll at least compete to the end! I do expect us to win at Missouri State.

I would expect BU to be:
3 point dogs at Drake
2 point favorites at UIC
7 point dogs v Creighton
SMS will depend on those last 3 games because right now it's **** near a pickem.

I see winning 1/4 most likely scenario, would be satisfied with 2/4 and would be elated at 3/4.

Tough to win road games, especially in conference. I'd love to get 3 wins here but think 2 might be more likely.

A lot could depend on our health too.

I like a win at UIC and either Drake or MSU (pick one).

Most complete win of the year. KB's coming out party. Play like this the rest of the year and the sky is the limit. Unfortunately that's been our problem, getting a consistent 40 minute effort. 9-9 in the Valley is not out of the realm of possibilites as we have winnable games at Drake and at Missouri State and the last home game against Creighton. Win both games on the road and we might avoid Thursday night. I can't go to the Thursday games because I'll be getting radiation treatments through Friday so that's what I'm hoping for. If they play on Thursday it'll be only the 2nd BU game in St. Louis that I would miss since they moved the tournament to St. Louis. I'm hoping that doesn't happen and if they play the next 2 weeks like they did today I and BU should be in good shape.

Let's win a couple more for BigJ, Braves so he doesn't miss a BU game in St. Louie!
How about playing one on Saturday too!

I will be there along with a buddy to cheer BU on to a win at UIC.
Maybe it will have a BU home crowd feeling like when we play at Loyola!

My feelings exactly, and probably with most of us.

I'll repeat 3 is what we should win in my opinion, but I also realize we could lose all 4, or win all 4.

Which 3 games do you think we should win?

Which 3 games do you think we should win?

Considering how we've played on the road of late (but not LATE in the game), I think we should pick up 1 of our last 2 Valley road games, with out best chance this Wednesday.
We just need to be more physical than Drake - outrebound and scrap for loose balls. If we have good minutes and production from the bench, our starters will have enough juice to outlast the Bulldogs, who probably are not as hungry a team as they were a couple weeks ago.
This is a very winnable game vs. Drake if we can stop Simons from catching fire and being tough inside.

I wonder why we can't play the same style on the road as at home.
We are much more patient, unselfish, team-oriented at home...of course, more confident too, but that's to be expected.

[Buesch N Chips]

Which 3 games do you think we should win?

The three road games. Definitely UIC and MoSt. Drake on the road is a game that is a 50/50 game, and Creighton at home is winnable but not likely. My thought is we take care of business at UIC and MoSt, then win one of the two others.

The way I see it... we should be wanting ISUred to win tomorrow tonight....pushing Evansville to Thursday (they have @WSU vs. ISUblue finish)...then we will just have to deal with Mo State and hopefully we beat them in Springfield.

Bradley fans should definitely be cheering for whoever is playing Evansville.
