All I can say is MUST WIN, as is about every home game for the rest of the season. Gotta take care of the middle pack teams especially.
I like our chances for a 16-pt win tonight. Would be nice if Connor dropped in another 25. Then we'll have to go into the archives to see when the last time a BU players scored 25 in 3 straight!!!

Evansville head coach David Ragland has said that leading scorer Ben Humrichous is "doubtful" for the Bradley game- https://twitter.com/AMFKristensen/st...92630090317872
Humrichous is averaging 16.3 ppg and 5.6 rpg, and is their best three point shooter at 48.4%, one of the top 3-point FG% in the country- https://www.espn.com/mens-college-ba...ben-humrichous
But he has missed Evansville's last 3 games, and has not played since their game on December 20. He has been wearing a boot on his right foot since then- https://twitter.com/AKAJeffBidwell/s...94325706375478
Just a guess, but when an athlete requires wearing a boot like this for 3 weeks or more, it usually suggests something more severe than a sprain or soft tissue injury, such as a possible stress fracture. Evansville has never released details about the nature of the injury, but has only said Humrichous is "day to day".
So it is likely he will not play in the game tonight, which hurts the Aces. Since starting the season 10-2, they have lost all 3 games since Humrichous has been out with the foot injury.
Evansville is 33.4% as a team on 3-point field goal attempts, but without Humrichous, they are at only 29.7%.Comment

I've been watching the ESPN+ replay for a few yrs now and it's great. Skip past the commercial breaks and halftime if u want or go back to see a great play. Def worth the monthly subscription!Originally posted by LongTimeFan View PostComment

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

Second straight game I thought we really looked crisp. Valpo I still think was a bad team and we were good, but these last two have been super sharp in all areas.
Deen and Hannah have been spectacular in their roles and Hickman has been the best player on the team. Leons even looked more aggressive and shot better today and he always brings the all around game. Burch and Atlason have worked through the freshman struggles a little to get back to the players with potential we all saw early on. Davis always does a little of everything.
Can’t complain too much today, a couple minor nitpicks. Jonovic was non-existent today (though didn’t do anything terribly bad either) and Burch has to keep his composure and not get a technical. Hopefully a good teachable moment in a game where it didn’t matter as far as score.
I know I’m going to think this all year, but man I wish we had that Murray State game back.
Stay healthy at guard and keep playing like this! Have to win against UIC I think, because it’s a tough stretch after that for a bit.

We had seven guys score at least 8 points in the game and we won by 36 at home. We're 11-2 with Hickman in the lineup.
Yes, Evansville's best player was out, but winning that convincingly against any conference team is still really impressive.
Another game to silence the angry mob, at least for a few more days ...Go Braves!Comment

Ha! I just hopped on to ask the record with Hickman in the lineup. Thanks BUBraves2006. It's obvious we are a different, more balanced, and dangerous team with Connor.Originally posted by BUBraves2006 View Post

This was Bradley's 5th win in a row, and all 5 have been rather easy wins. It was the 3rd game in a row in which Bradley has scored 86 points and won by 25 points or more. Bradley is now 11-5, and 3-2 in the MVC.
Let's hope the Braves can keep this streak going at UIC Saturday-
