Final: Bradley 79 Drake 72

[lefty]

It was a nice win and a good day to get it on with the former MVC champs there. Just a couple days ago some fans were so irate they couldn't see straight. Remember...this is part of that roller coaster ride. I see this team going 3-3 at best, the rest of the season.

Yeah.....overly optimistic when we win and overly pessimistic when we lose

I would be happy to win the home games and maybe somehow get a win at UNI or DU......I think that would be considered a pretty successful finish....

Don't look now but Jayden is 14 of his last 21 from 3!

JH has been playing pretty well...especially on the offensive end. He doesn't get himself in trouble too often and when he does he's still on his feet instead of in the air. He keeps the offense moving by moving the ball quicker and making good passes.......

I remember DLO playing pretty well the last 10-12 games last year though too

Better Right?

We have 9 wins. If going forward, we go 3-3, that gives us 12 wins.

Last year, how would 12 wins have felt?


We are slowing getting better.

Yeah.....overly optimistic ......

was just reflecting back to the freshman year for many of those '95-96 guys...
they finished the season strong winning 5 of 6...with five freshmen contributing and a few more sophomores..
beating InSU, Tulas, ISU, then losing to Drake but beating UNI & then beat DePaul.
Then the following year the confidence grew as we were 23-8 and started the season winning 9 of 11 and 13 of 16.
That group had nine freshmen & sophomores.

Amazing that a clean copy of the "Deon Jackson shot" game has never been found, nor the Villanova fight game. Been hunting for those for awhile.

I wasn't really talking about you or anyone specific T. Just generally speaking really

Zobrist was a great free throw shooter I can't come up with a streak for him.

But James Gillingham made 44 straight in games . That's crazy good.

Gilbert Gillingham Grainger what should've been.

Agree completely even though I, really, thought they could go 8-10 or 9-9 in the Valley before the season began but we lost some games that we had chances to win. 3-3 or better yet 4-2 would make for a great finish. Still hoping to stay out of the Thursday night game but now looking more difficult.

but the mere fact that we're into February and at least TALKING ABOUT staying out of Thursday -- yippee!!!

For Bradley to stay out of the pillow fight on Thursday night, they are going to need a lot of help. Most likely, Bradley would have to go 4-2 the rest of the way. In addition, at least two of the three teams immediately in front of them will have to go 2-4. Then the tie breaker would enter in. I don't see that happening.

While I also don't see it likely, MSU has 2 games remaining with WSU and 1 game remaining with ISUR. We also travel to UNI and Drake. The opportunity there, like others have said in early February, definitely makes me feel better about this team. Let's hope that the defining moment that we needed happened this past weekend and we'll finally see this team turn the corner a bit. I can hope right?
