Final: BU 63 UIC 62

[tornado]

omg - just as I say that our pg brings it into the frontcourt & launches from 25' without a songle look or pass
We might still win with raw individual talent but we are not playing as a team..

Walt did get all ball

[lefty]

Looks they aren't calling anything underneath. We got hammered last time down

[tornado]

these guys doing the play by play are horrible...
he says we are losing because we are a team with nine new players and virtually no experience or talent...

what the hey???

no experience?? - we are quite possibbly the team with more minutes played than any other team in the MVC - 6th year seniors, kids who have been starting since they were freshmen..

no talent?? -

nine new players?? Is he counting the three walk ons PLUS the two guys who are not even eligible??
ONLY ONE of the TOP EIGHT guys in playing time is new...Tyshon...and he's got two years of juco experience.
Other than that, 3 of our new guys never play because they're walk ons and you can't really count wells as a new guy since he was here last year.

so basically - only two guys that get used are new (Tyshon & Bell.)

[tornado]

that is horrible - Will Egolf was given 3 or 4 fouls that he didn't deserve

DSE & Walt simply carrying us but can they carry us a bit further!

[BradleyJD]

These refs are beyond awful

[tornado]

WALT to JAKE -- the assist of the game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BU wins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not pretty but quite enjoyable....63-62!!

Worst we can finish is .500 now... I will take the win! Creighton vs. St. Mary's on ESPN now for those looking for more basketball to watch this afternoon.

It is an accomplishment to finish at or above .500 for Geno after only 2 years. We have a good one here

The UIC broadcaster repeatedly described Bradley as a team with no talent that plays a good game plan and still wins some..

I kinda disagree - we are a team of very talented guys - and we don't always play a good game plan but they play hard and they can literally carry us at times when we're in foul trouble or not passing & playing a good game plan

I heard him say we need an infusion of talent if we wanted to rebuild the program to sustainable success. His opinion

Hopefully it begins with the two guys sitting out this year, because it appears we still need that infusion once our seniors are gone.

You always need...no matter the year. If you're in year 5 or 8 or 15, you need talent.

[Big Mike]

Huge games by Walter (22 pts & 4 stops) and DSE (17 pts) Today! TP &WE need to learn to control fouls.....hard to help your team sitting on the bench! Very Happy to Win this game....didn't look good......Criittle is a bum, replay showed him giving an elbow to JP after a foul and running his mouth, nothing said by the refs?

I agree. The announcers are the ones that kept making a point of it.

[Da Coach]

What a satisfying ending to a sloppy and nerve-wracking game. Lots of Bradley fans- maybe close to half the arena, and they left happy. Dyricus really came up big in the 2nd half as well as Walt.
