Final score- Bradley 48 Illinois State 45

[BUfan17]

Loving the love for Linke. Kid is all heart.

I was impressed with Linke last night. He played some solid minutes with only a few mistakes. I would take that performance over Jonovic.

Attendance was 9,201, the second highest attendance of the season.
Let's fill Carver one more time Wednesday night for Senior night. We need to honor Malevy Leons, one of the nicest guys to ever play at Bradley, and a terrific player. It will be interesting to see whether Duke or Darius choose to be honored on Senior night.

I think it will be Linke, Gonar, Darius and Leons for Senior Night.

One of the best defensive efforts of the year other then keeping them off the defensive boards. However ISU Red leads the Mo Valley in offensive rebounds so no surprise we had trouble with that. I have been impressed with how the Redbirds have been playing in their last few games. We were very fortunate to win and I hope they will be someone else's problem at Arch Madness. Offensively I feel like I'm beating a dead horse here but once again we were way too 3 centric again. Out of 54 shots 28 of them were from 3 and we had just 7 assists. Too often our offense is 1 pass and shoot. When we work the ball especially inside out our offense can be pretty special. That's the kind of offense we had on display in the 2nd half at Missouri State. Now Duke did go off in the 2nd half in that one and he's done that a couple of times but we can't count on that. At the end of the day a W is a W. Get another one on Wednesday and 3rd place is clinched.

I'm very much hoping you're wrong about Darius.

[BengalFan]

Darius has another year to play but I’m pretty sure he can graduate this year.

Darius said he will be back next year. Hoping it’s in a Braves uniform!

King Darius of the Medes. No other uniform could fit him!

I don't know how I missed that one. I do remember it, because I was there. It was an ugly game, too. That 2006-07 team was a very good team, but nearly everyone had a bad night. That team went 22-13, and played in the NIT.

That was one of my favorite games. I was on the edge of my seat all night until that shot to win. I have often told friends about that game. I drove my wife nuts because I couldn't sit back and relax.

Haha! Yep

I'm still following Bradley's last regular season games and I'm very hopeful we can secure a 3 seed with a win at home over Southern Ill.this Wednesday! If Bradley wins then I think the last game against Drake could be meaningless for us.We couldn't get any better seed. For Drake however, a regular season title or tie with Indiana St.may be possible. I just hope we play Drake First because if we could pull off the upset, I would love to see us play Indiana St. For the title! I believe they are the best and most fun to watch and Bradley would have a realistic chance to defeat them on what would be there 3rd try this season! Honestly, I just wish Arch Madness was here already because those are the games that really count!!!!!

This game on 1/10/07 was one of my favorites I attended. We won 48-46.

check out that attendance! 10,058. My season tickets at that time were in the seats that is now occupied by the braves club area

I still like Thomas by a huge margin over Meta and Linke. I have a hard time understanding the reasons why someone that has played little in 3 and3/4 seasons all of a sudden is in the mix. This is worrisome going into the Tour. where we need at least 8 players that are capable of scoring in double digits on any given night.

Video from Dave Eminian of Bradley's last two baskets- a three pointer by Malevy Leons with 9:20 left to make the score 42-39, and a three by Almar Atlason with 7:28 left to give Bradley their biggest lead at 45-37. The last 3 points were added with a free throw by Almar at 3:54, and Christian Davis' two free throws with 20 seconds left to make the final score 48-45. Also the video shows the final nail-biting 15 seconds with ISU attempting to tie the game on their final possession. - https://twitter.com/icetimecleve/sta...57788797722961

Replay seems to show Katsuki clearly travelled after his rebound in order to try to get back behind the 3 point line.

[Da Coach]

No question about it. Would the refs have called it had the shot gone in? Maybe they let it go since the game was over, but it was obvious.

[Dub]

Had that shot gone in, I don’t predict they would have gone back and called travelling. They would have had to have clearly seen it and be ready to blow the whistle immediately. I don’t know that you can go back to monitor review and call travelling after moving on to a successful shot attempt, but I don’t know for sure.
