    Bradley beat SIU in their earlier meeting in Peoria on Feb. 1, 62-52, as Bradley's defense (primarily Malevy Leons) held SIU's leading scorer Marcus Domask to just 5 points, which is his lowest scoring output of the season. SIU shot 42.2% for the game, but just 29.4% (5-17) from three. Ja'Shon Henry had perhaps his best offensive game of the season with a team-leading 13 points on 5-7 shooting. The game stayed close and was tied 48-48 with under 5 minutes left. But then Bradley went on a 14-2 run to pull ahead 62-48, then an unguarded layup by SIU at the buzzer ended the game 62-52.

        Trying to convince Dub to go. We've been to every game during this 7 game win streak. I don't like to brag, but I think it's been all us.

        I've got a theory that if you give 100 percent all of the time, somehow things will work out in the end.

                        This will be the most physical game we have played in this year. SIU will start hand checking our guys during warmups and won't stop till the game is over. They have this reputation as being a great defensive team and they take full advantage of it. This goes back to when Lowery was coaching there. We have to be strong with the ball and play through a lot of contact, plus their crowd will be all jacked up. We need to get off to a good start.

                          Up until recently we have had struggles in getting off to good starts. In 2 of our last 3 games we have changed that around. Against ISU Red we started on a 9-0 run that we extended to a 15-2 start. Against Missouri State we started on a 16=4 run. In an atmosphere that should be electric we need a similar start. Have to avoid unforced turnovers and not get too one on one on offense. Have to communicate on defense and keep them off their offensive boards. Have to limit any runs that the dogs might have because that will help keep the crowd in check. We have a decided advantage inside that we need to go to early and often. Time to go GET ER DONE!

                            We are a modestly better overall team than SIU on the whole. However they are perfectly capable of beating us, home or away. They had us in rough shape for a good chunk of the day when we played at our place…

                            it will likely depend on which team handles the pressure better and avoids the “yips”

                            im looking forward to seeing how our guys can keep up this newfound road toughness. It’s primarily a mental game now for Bradley.
                            Compete. Defend. Rebound. Win.
