Congrats Braves. And on the road no less and the only lead of the second half. A little success is good for the soul........coaches, players and fans.

Nice win for the Braves on the road.....thanks to Milton Doyle for missing both FT's to give the Braves a chance......Barker was tough on the boards! Van Bree hit some nice open shots......and best of all porter moser gets handed a loss!

Does anyone know if ESPN3 will have a replay option, even though the game was blacked out?

Only one criticism, though I am not going to get real negative now, but we had a couple shot clock violations, and several more bail-out shots to avoid the shot clock expiring. Those are guaranteed empty possessions, and we can't afford that since we are not blowing anyone out. We need to speed up the offense slightly, and no more 30 second possessions!

If you were not blacked out, I know there is a replay. I don't know how it is in the blackout areas.

over the past FOUR years we had just 3 road wins in the MVC in 36 road games.... 3 in 36!!

Wardle has already 1 road win in his first three MVC games..... 1 in 3 with essentially nothing but a desperately arranged group of freshmen!
Congrats to Coach Wardle - Go Braves!!!

Perfect, I caught the 2nd half on the radio but I need to see us win on the road!

Even the blackout people can watch the replay. It is available to everyone.


Also, the replay link remains available for at least 30 days.

I still can't stand our "walk-it-up-the-court" offense.

Couldn't agree more. Walk it up court, then scramble for a last-second shot or no shot at all. It's maddening to watch.

Bradley beats Loyola...
Loyola clobbered Creighton...
Creighton whupped Georgetown...
Georgetown clobbered Marquette ...
..who beat LSU who knocked off Kentucky - who were ranked #1!!

[Da Coach]

Attendance was an abysmal 1,386. It looked like half that in reality, and there was a sizable Bradley presence.

And one other difference for Coach Wardle tonight that might have helped make a difference-
Here are the playing times for the key players-
*Dwayne Lautier-Ogunleye- 37 minutes
*Ronnie Suggs- 36 minutes
*Antoine Pittman- 36 minutes
*Luuk van Bree- 32 minutes
Callum Barker- 26 minutes
*Scottie James- 15 minutes
* starters

Without checking, I believe those are all season-highs in minutes played for each of those first 5 guys. The only subs were Barker (26 min), Thomas (12 min), and Hanley (6 min).
Okafor, Cooper, and McBride did not play this game.
It seemed Thomas played more than 12 minutes.
