Missouri State 80 Bradley 77 in 3 OTs

[Da Coach]

Bradley's next game, and final road game on the schedule, is Wednesday, Feb. 25 at Missouri State.
Bradley is now 8-21, and 3-13 in the MVC and tied for last place with SIU.
MSU is 10-17, and currently 4-11 in the MVC, pending their 1:00 PM game today at Drake.
MSU has struggled since losing the league's leading scorer Marcus Marshall. They were picked 3rd in the MVC Preseason Poll, but have now lost 11 of their last 13 games to fall to 8th place, though they are coming off a win at home against Indiana State. Their final 3 games are against Drake, Bradley, and Loyola, so they still have a chance to pull into 6th place if they win all 3, but they could also fall back into last place if they do poorly.

should be an epic battle of two teams who cannot put points on the board
first one to 20 probably wins...

[Tulsa Brave]

Went to the preview for this epic battle here in Tulsa this evening. Temple and Tulsa combined to go 32-105 from the field, 5-30 from 3, and 25-52 (!!!) from the line. 3 assists for Temple the whole game. During the 2nd half, I turned to my kids and said that Temple was really Bradley dressed up in Temple uniforms...they really looked like what I've been seeing from the Braves all year.

Can the Braves and Bears combine for even more ineptness than this Wednesday? We shall see...

AZ BU SONG PARODY - 'Down The Ozarks'

With Apologies to Canned Heat:

BU's going down the Ozarks
Fans, do you think they're gonna win?
BU's going down the Ozarks
Fans, do you think they're gonna win?
They're going to some place
Where they've seldom won before

BU loses, BU loses
Will give up water and start chugging wine
BU loses,
Will give up water and start chugging wine
If BU keep on losing
I'll stay drunk all the time

I'm gonna leave this forum
Got to get away
I'm gonna leave this forum
Got to get away
All this fussing and fighting
Man, you know I sure can't stay

Now baby, I'll pack up my silly haiku
You know I've got to leave today
Just exactly where I'm going I cannot say
But I might even post on a Cyclone forum after today
Cause I'm a grad from that school and I know they really can play

No, I'm really not running
Or screaming and crying
Cause I'll still post on the BF Forum
As long as I'm not banned for life!

Assuming no TV for this one. That's one plus I suppose.

This game is scheduled to be on WAOE as well as ESPN3.com.

Let's just get this season over with and see what happens. I think most people feel this way.

Not seeing it on the "upcoming list yet.

might be competitive

True, Mo. State got embarrassed. But they did beat ISU blue at home. The Drake game: Drake shot 61.9 percent from 3 point range; it was 35-14 at the break.

I don't think that BU has that kind of shooting.

This release lists the game as only on WAOE TV. Even the schedule, which had previously listed ESPN3, no longer shows that.

Paying $79 for BU TV to watch the four or five games that were on it seems to be a waste this year. I will have to really think over buying a subscription next year. I have purchase a year's subscription since the BU broadcasts were started. I imagine there will be other fans thinking the same thing.

lucky to be down only 15-6
how is it that we've scouted them and devise a zone to be sure they don't get any wide open shots down low...
and yet repeatedly they get unmolested dunks?
Then we come down and Cunningham (shooting 18.9% from 3-pt) instantly jacks up another 3-pointer that about cracks the backboard glass?

must be 500 or fewer there - - their fans seem to care about as much as our players seem to...
..this is becoming a Christian Kirk dunkfest - they've only mentioned about 10 times that he's just cracked the top-70 scorers at MSU
