Tremendous win by BU. And to think, we turned the Trees into sawdust on their home floor! Gee, 2 road wins against Blue & White teams--be afraid Creighton, be very afraid! (j/k)

A road win vs. Creighton, and we a firmly in the mix for the conference crown and an NCAA bid.
Very true, but tough roadies are left with SIU and MSU, not to mention the "records-don't-mean-much" series with ILSU. We've got 11 conference games, plus the Bracket Buster before we get to Arch Madness. Finishing 6-6 prior to St. Louis spells bubble trouble for us, and we have 6 home and 6 away contests looming. I'd like to think we can take 2 or 3 more on the road. Assuming we begin a new home streak and close out solidly at Carver, 20-11 or 21-11 should be good enough (but MSU thought the same thing last year).

Indiana State's top 3 scorers on the season--
Gabe Moore- 3-11 and 1-7 from 3-point
Marico Stinson- 2-8 overall and 2-5 from 3-point (both of his baskets came in the final minute when Bradley was up by 20 points)
Cole Holmstrom- 3-12 overall and 1-8 from 3-point
Bradley prepared extensively for these 3 scorers, and the game plan was executed to near perfection. They had trouble betting open looks, and settled for poor shots. Bradley's defense was great all night, and frustrated the Sycamore guards. Indiana State was a Top 35 RPI team, which Bradley completely dismantled down the stretch on the road.
I continue to be impressed with how far they've come.
Every BU player who saw action played extremely well. All 5 starters were great, and Adams and Warren played fantastic defense and contributed 10 and 7 off the bench.
Indiana State had been 9-0 at home so far this year before they met Bradley. They had wins over Butler, Purdue, Drake, Creighton, Wichita State, among others. And they had a 6 game overall winning streak, the longest in the MVC.
