Drake is a 1.5 point favorite

Do they still do the send off at the hotel? Haven’t seen anything about it this year.

Limit our turnovers, defend, rebound and make shots. We can beat them as long as we do not let them make runs on offense like they have in the two previous games against us.We have the players to beat them they just need to perform at the highest level tonight. They understand this could be the last game they play this season.
I just hope we get an unbiased crew officiating this game.

315 sendoff

Agonizing to not be able to ever watch the semis for Arch Madness. GL Braves and hope to be able to watch them tomorrow!

Will be listening on the Radio tonight. Win or lose, I hope it goes down to the wire! If Bradley plays great later today, then win or lose, they can know they gave it there best shot!

I cancelled my ESPN+ because the renewal date was March 6, so settled for listening to the UIC game on the radio. Still love Dave and Chad but sometimes it's hard to follow the game because Dave isn't giving the constant rapid fire delivery he did when young. Headed to a friend's house tonight because he gets CBS Sports.

He also goes long periods of time without giving the score.

I'll keep this civil.

Enright reminds me of Grayson Allen. And that isn't a compliment.

I was just thinking that.

That whole flop sequence with Hannah then get up and cheer right after reminded me of him

Turnovers! Stop with the unforced stupid turnovers and we can win this! Also, I didn't love Brian's substitutions that half. Linke and Atlason can't be in at the same time, as it weakens the defense too much. Linke needs to be a 3-4 minute a half sub and that's it, a couple of bad offensive possessions because he reacted too slow. It's money time, play the best 7 with just a few minutes otherwise in my opinion. Good game so far, gonna have to keep hitting shots and again, stop turning it over. We outshot them by a lot but gave them a lot of second chances too. Keeping making it tough dor DeVries Malevy!

True story. Guy is the Valley flopper of the year. He spends more time on the floor than Molly Maid.

[BUfan17]

Another flop by Enright.

[BUfan14]

Well I think our weaknesses cost us tonight, same ones I've seen all year. We were a starting 3 guard short of being good enough this year. Also, we need a backup point even if Deen is back next year. Connor is fine enough in the middle of games for stretches, but he is not a point guard in the crunch, as been demonstrated over and over again in his career. Great shooting guard, great player, maybe even combo guard in stretches, but not a point guard.

I know Brian was trying to manage fouls, but again having Linke and Atlason in the game at the same time cost us. We went back up 58-56 and then those two were in at the same time during an important stretch and Drake scored a bunch and we didn't. Finally, Brian then put Hannah and Deen back in. But it cost us.

We had a good solid, but not great, year. I know everyone says we lost a lot, but Ville and Mast were normal losses, and Zek should have been replaced. Overall, a fun year, but this offseason is going to be fascinating. If everyone stays, and we recruit the portal better, we should be in the running next year. But who know in today's world. I am assuming we will not be in the NIT. We have to do better recruiting this year in the portal! We were incredibly lucky to be as healthy as we were this year or this year could have really went south. The Hickman injury was the only major one and even that wasn't super long.
