Final score: Indiana State 95 Bradley 86

[egib52]

Reminds me of a certain center at a certain program we don't speak of anymore since they bolted the Valley a couple years ago ...

(I actually don't think he got too much preferential treatment other than when he literally shoved someone out of bounds for a rebound late in the game and that turned into a transition 3.)

You missed a few then.

[egib52]

Is Jonovich in the doghouse? I can’t remember the last time we saw him in. I thought they’d use him to lean on Avila and maybe hack him a bit to keep him off his game, but he didn’t see the floor.

Avila would have eaten him alive.

[egib52]

I guess the two four point plays played a huge part in my mind. I thought they were going to call the flops more this year? It sure didn’t happen tonight. One for sure was but it sure pushed the extra space for them for the rest of the game.

Atrocious call on the first one for sure.

[tomahawk chop]

They shot 20 free throws to our 8, yes the refs did not call it the same way.

As hot as Duke was in the 2nd half, I would have liked to see him get shots on those last couple possessions of regulation. I don't know what the final broken play was with Hannah heaving up a shot while falling down.

I was there.. Hannah’s final shot drew contact that was similar to the Jason Kent shot that Drew a foul at end of regulation But similar contact was not called the same on both ends of the floor in this one.

[Dubl R 1]

Atrocious call on the first one for sure.

He fell a 3rd time on a 3 and that was a total flop where they called nothing.

They got a lot of “matter” fouls vs we get “don’t matter” fouls. They got several fouls ON shot attempts that were questionable, we get buckets waived off for fouls on the floor.. or non shooting fouls late in the game that makes the total look even.

we only shot 4 free throws in regulation to their 16 I believe and then only 8 to their 20 for the game.

They had 2 layup attempts where the defender did not touch the player at all and we got fouls, Avila got 2 where the defender appeared to do nothing, 2 on threes where again the shooters legs miraculously quit working upon landing, the block late called a foul on Hannah was terrible.. 1 or 2 out of bounds calls went to them that were questionable

we finished thru contact 4-5 times in that game that should have been fouls

I don’t understand why almost everytime we go on the road the home team seems to get most of the calls, but while we are at home we NEVER get that, I mean at one point in the second half at home vs Murray state we had 7 fouls while Murray State had ZERO. Crazy

[SycamoreFanatic]

Excuse me ..... I was there also & I never saw so many calls or no-calls go against the home team in years ..... preferential my a$$. You all were watching the same game from a whole different biased position. It was a great game played by two teams not willing to give an inch. Don't cry about the officiating as it ruins your reputation.

[Big Mike]

Very good college game, Duke gave everything he had. Kent wanted this game bad and we let him get lay up after lay up uncontested. I question why we have Hickman near the half court line dribbling at the end of regulation?? Duke should of had the ball in his hands for the chance to win in regulation.

Obviously you watched with a biased opinion as well then because if that’s the worse you’ve seen a home team treated then that says a lot about the type of officiating you guys normally have.

[Tomahawk]

Great game between two good teams. Bradley had their chance at the end of regulation. Playing on the road that is exactly what you want. A chance at the end to win. Did not work out this time. Wish Bradley would have played better defense the second half. The thing that stands out most to me is fouling two times on 3 point attempts. Push the game aside now and go on another win streak starting Wednesday. Still have ten conference games to play. Anything can happen to still win the conference. "Go Braves"

Box score on free throws differential tells a good story. It was a good game. Watch the replay of the game and see why some of us aren’t to happy about the calls. The call in overtime on goggles when our guy was walling up like he had previously with no call. Hats off to your team they won a good game and we will see you again in arch madness. It’s hard to beat a good team 3 times in the Valley.

[bradleyfan124]

We almost beat them. We took them to overtime on their homecourt. They can be beat. A few shots either way would have made a difference . They are a good team. I think they will get beat in St. Louis. If they do I think they would still deserve an at-large bid to go to the NCAA

[Southside]

I thought the way they called the game was inconsistent, but it evened out in the end. Several very questionable calls on both sides. The play were Avila go bumped and stepped out gets called a foul 9/10 times. The last possession, Hickman got his pocket picked, calling the foul on ISU was very questionable.

I will say the ISU crowd was the whiniest I’ve heard in a long time. They expected every single call and let the refs know when they didn’t get it.

[Tommy]

Avila would have eaten him alive.

Thanks. Wasn’t suggesting that Jonovich would have been the deciding factor to give us the win. Was merely curious why he’s gone from getting a few minutes in every game to none at all in the last few games.
