I think it depends on how many of the kids come back. The reluctant Bradley fan will be watching this summer.

Its crazy to see people already in the top row of the upper deck 45 minutes before tip off ...

Great game, it felt like Bradley controlled it the whole time even when close. Finally (mostly) made some clutch free throws too! I know an at large likely won’t happen, but this is one of the 68 best teams in the country even if they don’t win Arch Madness. I really hope they do, because I really think we could give big boys fits now, as we are so much better than we were the first half of the year. I was scared for a second when Mast went out, but he came back. Maybe the one more year chants will convince him to do this again next year.

Storybook ending to a rollercoaster regular season. Now let’s write the next chapter in St. Louis. Congrats to the players, coaches, and staff! Today was really fun!

Mast and Leons were incredible. Leons had 12 points on 3 shots! 4 points per shot attempt. And his defense on Devries was amazing! I said at the beginning of the year Hickman is the player I thought would have a huge year. He looked a little off at times this year, but what a huge night for him. Very happy for him. His hustle for some of those loose balls was outstanding, on top of his scoring and defense. Everyone else played a nice role today!

Great win!
Definitely got nervous when Mast left the court walking funny, but I think it was likely just a bathroom break!
