Thank you after a 6 minute scoreless span for the Braves....

Good luck to Drake who took the Braves out to the woodshed....

Drake was hot we were not. 25-9 record I'd take any season. Hope we get an NIT bid.

GO BRADLEY

GO BRADLEY

We automatically get one due to winning the regular season.

Drake is the better team. I think that is pretty apparent. I know we won with our best home crowd in a decade+, but on a neutral court I think Drake wins more often that not. When Rienk disappeared we went back to how we were early in the year with no go to guy. Deen tries to be, but he is not. I couldn't believe how sloppy we played on defense. We flew by what seemed like every ball fake instead of staying on our feet.

Overall, this year had some ups and downs, but was a good next step for the program. We still are not where programs like Loyola (before this year) and Drake are, but we took one step closer in being a top of the conference regular season team. Hopefully we get most of the guys back, add a couple pieces, schedule well, and make next year that final step to being a top tier annual mid major. I think it'd be nice to know Mast's decision before the NIT, because I'd love to see guys like Davis, Jonovic, and Hannah get a little more run to start prepping for next year. We should still go for the wins of course in a big tournament, but maybe just get them out there a little bit to develop.

Hopefully we get a home game for the NIT. In the past it would be an automatic with the way the crowd turnouts... not sure how it works now

Need an NIT game to get back to feeling good and play better then we did in Arch Madness! I would absolutely be thrilled for another home game! We are relatively young compared to Drake and Loyola (from the yr before)

[bradleyfan124]

I think if the game had been close or overtime we might have had a shot at an at-large bid from the NCAA but with the clobbering we took today I dont think so

I don't think we had any chance at an at large bid. It was tournament champs or nothing

Penn at his graduation

Hilarious!
I do have a lot of respect for Penn, but Devries seems like a little punk. Then again, other teams could perceive Connor to be as well at times.

All in all, time for these 8th year seniors to finally leave Drake!!!

[LittleBrave]

Gotta be tough for Ville to have to watch his last Arch Madness game in a warm-up suit.
I feel for all the guys right now, and all the loyal fans who made the trip to St. Lou to sit through that.

[houstonbrave]

Ville may choose to call it a career but he does have the option of returning.

[PhiAlphaBoy]

Was Mast hurt? Was one of the worst starters in the entire tournament. Over him completely after that awful display.

Dude! Do you ever post anything positive?! So over you completely after your awful posts.
