Well. We need to go get this one. What a crazy mvc season. I still think this group has a nice run in them to salvage this season and get our momentum back. Avoid Thursday night and Win Arch madness . Thats what its all about anyway. Id rather win arch madness and not the reg season than vice versa. I expect to be winning both regularly starting season after next if not before. Consistently playing sunday and winning reg season Championships. Weve waited long enough.

We need as many losses from Valpo, Evansville, Indiana State, and Northern Iowa as possible at this point. Those are the only 4 teams that we have any chance of passing to get to 6th and even then it’s almost an impossible task. SIU had to be a win because now you have to win 6 of 8 to get to 9-9 with games still vs and at Loyola, at Drake, and at Illinois State. Going to need some prayers and a potential miracle at this point..

Going to need some prayers and a potential miracle at this point..

At this point in the season BUfan39 - I agree with your statement of the need for a miracle.

[Da Coach]

Yes, all Bradley can do is focus on the games they still have. We can't be concerned about getting help from other teams, as that is now unrealistic. It is likely Bradley will be one of the Thursday teams now. But, the MVC is more balanced this season than ever, so this might be the first season since Jim Molinari's 1998 team that a "play-in" team wins on the first day, then knocks off one of the top 2 seeds and advances to play in the semifinals. Let's hope it's Bradley if we have to play in the Thursday games.

Since beating us here, UNI has gone 4-5 and averaging 64 points and taking almost 1/2 their shots from the arc
We have to stop their 3-point game -- they hit 46% against us here (10-22) but they have hit 50% over the past THREE games (25-50),
... but we also have to make shots because we're not going to beat anyone scoring 47 points

seems every game against them - someone steps up and drains 3-pointers like crazy..
-last year Wyatt Lohaus went 6-9 - http://www.mvc.org/mbb/stats/2017-18/unimbb25.htm
..and Isaiah Brown went 5-8 - http://www.mvc.org/mbb/stats/2017-18/brad15.htm

-Jeremy Morgan went 4-7 - http://www.mvc.org/mbb/stats/2016-17/unimbb26.htm

-and I'm sure everyone remembers this game when Jesperson went 8-11 from 3-pt - http://www.mvc.org/mbb/stats/2015-16/uni-bu.htm

- Matt Bohannon went 4-5 - http://www.mvc.org/mbb/stats/2013-14/unimbb13.htm

Since beating us here, UNI has gone 4-5...

UNI is 7-3 at home for the season. They are 4-1 at home in MVC games, but have won 4 in a row, though all their MVC home games were close. The only loss was their first home MVC game against SIU.

The current betting line has Northern Iowa as a 4½ point favorite over Bradley.

Nice win at UNI! This team could drive me to drink.

[Big Mike]

Wow....the Braves really needed that!

[tornado]

Nice game - shot well playing uptempo - 55% overall, 55% from 3-pt and we outrebounded them 30-27 & stayed out of foul trouble
Bradley 79 - UNI 71

Darrell Brown with 29 pts on 11-18
Elijah Childs 11 pts 10 rebs

..and I love this - 17 pts off the bench

and their point guard gets 24 pts BUT as we have seen before - his play HURTS them - he shoots 19 times yet has only ONE assist!!!
He also gives up 29 points to our PG

[Da Coach]

Terrific effort tonight. Great start, and when UNI came back Bradley guys did not fold. The hung on and pulled away in the final minutes.
Bradley shoots 54.9% overall (28-51), and 55% from three (11-20). darrel Brown was clutch with 29 points, DLO had 15, and Nate Kennell chipped in with a great night, 12 points. Childs had another double-double with 11 points and 11 rebounds.

Nice win at UNI! This team could drive me to drink.

It has me. Mudslides are good but great after a Braves win.
