The night is shaping up to be an odd night and a pretty good one from the games already played.
DePaul won...
Creighton is clobbering Wichita State
Butler, Illinois, VCU, and Winthrop all win to help keep the Valley RPI up
#3 Florida goes down
Pitt loses
Mizzou loses
Marquette loses
Air Force loses to last place TCU
New Mexico is losing to next to last place Utah
(the Valley needs to be sure that the Big XII and MWC don't get a jump in RPI and pass us in conference RPI)

Air Force thumped TCU at home 72-39. I think I read TCU shot lights out in the 2nd half (like 70-80% - sound familiar?).
Over-all good Win...........Glad for the SR's to finish out strong @ home and really happy for AW..........he had a nice game tonight........and hit shots and made steals in the heat of the game!
As for the game itself, pretty much as expected. The Trees stayed close through the start of the second half. I think if there was any turning point it was when Zach made a layup when he should have been called for a travel. Then on the ensuing inbounds JC stole the ball resulting in another easy basket. BU was never headed after that.
Some time ago I said we'd make the Big Dance with four more wins any combination. I stand by that. Two down and two to go, but what the hey, let's not take any chances and win the tourney.
Nice night! The senior ceremonies at the beginning and end of the game were great. Bradley is fortunate to have such great kids.
Every one of our seniors is an overachiever, and not a typical basketball story. Zach's history has been documented before. He overcame great odds to become successful at basketball. Danny overcame an injury in high school, and a coaching change to become a valuable part of last year's NCAA team, and this year's team. JJ was one of Coach Les' first recruits, but was not highly recruited. But he has been the ultimate team player for 4 years. And Will bounced around 4 schools in 4 years (high school, 2 jucos, and BU) and was hardly recruited at all, but has become perhaps the MVP of this team.
I hope everyone comes to St. Louis to support these guys, and to the postseason banquet to celebrate a great year!
Bradley with just 6 turnovers. All 5 starters in double figures. All the seniors, except Adams were in double figures, and they were trying to get Danny there, but his shot was off tonight.
Attendance 11,007. Not bad considering the weather.
And I don't want to hear any griping about the student section... we were standing the entire game (including the "lame" right side) and came up with some creative Sycamore disses (POOOOOOONYTAIL).
That was the most fun I've had at a game in awhile...
PEORIA, Ill. -- With three of its four seniors scoring in double-figures, Bradley (20-11, 10-8) pulled away in the second half to earn a 74-58 Missouri Valley Conference men's basketball victory against visiting Indiana State (12-17, 5-13) in front of 11,007 Senior Night fans Saturday night at Carver Arena.Junior guard Jeremy Crouch paced a balanced Bradley offensive attack with 13 points and junior point guard Daniel Ruffin added 12 points and six assists.? Senior guard J.J. Tauai added 12 ponits, senior guard Will Franklin 11 and senior center Zach Andrews 10 to complete Bradley's double-digit scoring.? Sycamores center Jay Tunnell scored a game-high 14 points, but guard Gabe Moore was the only other Indiana State player to reach double-figures, finishing with 10 points and a game-high seven assists.
By the way, I saw Iman Shumpert there. And it looked like he was having a great time. He stayed and watched the entire senior ceremony after the game. It would be great to get him!
