Tks DC.

This is a big game for Bradley based on where they are at in the season and what needs to be done the rest of the season... and then factor in it is ISU.

Questions:

1) Will it be a sell-out?

2) How many fans for BU - 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, more?

3) If ISU wins, do they 'storm the court'?

Isn't Saturday night 2/3? I'm just trying to figure out if I'm going to have some kind of conflict between the Superbowl and the Braves.

Question-
How many ISU fans have to go onto the floor to qualify as "storming the floor"?

Answer-
Both of them.

That's hilarious!!

I'll be going to the game at Redbird arena for the 4th year in a row, Haven't missed one since I became a student at Bradley.

Last year was a great experience becuase we were just starting to get hot at that point in the season, and I'm sitting at the game with all of my ISU buddies screaming my head off as i was cheering for the Braves.

I think I probably made the entire section I was sitting in hate me, but as long as BU was dominating, I wasn't going to shut up.

Hopefully we can get another great BU crowd in Redbird Arena, it should help the Braves to the season sweep of our lesser counterparts.

Not sure if people read stuff off some of those links.

Couple things of note:

ISU will be honoring their greatest player of all time - Doug Collins.

ISU could be trying for the biggest point swing with a win (coming off a 21 point loss, they would need to beat Bradley by 11 to break the record).

Not sure, but I thought Dom Johnson (9 pts/game) might be unavailable for the game.

Funny thread at their message board over ISU/UIUC fans and just real ISU fans (hmmmm.... I thought it was just Bradley fans questioning whether someone was a 'true' fan or not).

Also, a thread on attendance... they are hoping for over 9000 but not a sell-out. They are averaging 4674 and their largest crowd so far this season was against SIU with 6429 in attendance.

So I was doing a little lurking on that other team's board.

I'm not saying tomorrow night will be easy by any means, but some of them honestly think they've got it sewn up. Perhaps they forget we were down JC and played our bench for the last 10 minutes of the game a few weeks ago and STILL won by a pretty wide margin. One thing I really like about this board is that, for the most part, we're realistic...

Also, as a side note, they seem to be having problems with "enthusiastic" fans getting the evil eye or worse from administration and security. Perhaps that should be taken into consideration as we plan our signs/attire/amount of yelling for tomorrow night (in my case, I might make it my personal goal to get kicked out of RA...)

I went to an ISU game this fall, and I can't imagine them having too much trouble with crazy fans... especially students, they would have to go to games.

Just curious, which game did you go to?

To be honest, student support has been good for the most part, but community support has not, and thats why our attendance blows. Also, you'd be surprised what they yell at us for. They've been so strict on the most mundane, silly, unimportant things its ridiculous.

LOL. Outstanding.

**IlliBraves** · 02-02-2007, 08:53 PM

This is a MUST WIN for BU. This could be a good game for us to get back on track. Crouch has looked rusty in his first two games back. We need him to step up and help us out.

Wow, I hope no Bradley fans get bent out of shape over the signs
