I’m in Chicago on the NW side. All are welcome.

I’ll keep looking til I find you, Ogre.

Find it hard to believe Santa Clara is favored. Have watched a couple of their games. They are good but do not impress me to the point of being favored. But what do I know. If BU plays up to potential, then they should win. Go BU.

Wily Coyote-sorry for the late response. No I didn’t play little league at Limestone.

Thanks for getting back to me. I had a young man named Houston that played LL for me and he was a very good player and is also a big BU fan and I thought maybe you and he were the same person. Lets get a big win today.

Must be based on our performance at Washington St. We play our game I don't think we'll have trouble unless somethin wonky (refs) happens. DB II Pizza & More, across from the closed Big Lots on Sterling and was most recently called the Hungry Moose, also has the game on. Duke is dressed so I hope that means he's playing.

I don't know who the Jack Jones is that this event is named for. If anyone knows, let us know.

Jack Jones was a singer in the 60's. He is best known for singing the theme song of The Love Boat TV show. The song is called "Love Is Exciting and New"

We continue to have trouble against bigger and more physical teams. The second half needs to be a lot better because Santa Clara is not what you call a power house. Atlason and Hannah struggle as far as rebounding and defending against these type of teams but where is there offense today?

[BengalFan14]

Too rusty in the first half. Got out-physicaled the whole game. Refs didn’t want to call it too tightly.

[Da Coach]

Tough loss.
Imo, Santa Clara is not a better team, but they played well, limited turnovers, and rebounded aggressively today. Combined with poor shooting in the first half by Bradley, that was the difference.
They were ranked 225th in D1 in 3 point FG% (32..6%), but shot 12-24 in today's game (50%) and 7-11 in the 2nd half (63.6%) to blunt the comeback effort by Bradley.
Coach Wardle mentioned on the post game that Darius and Almar had bad games and that the team needs more from them in big games like today's. He complimented Zek for playing well despite battling illness, and he mentioned Christian Davis, Duke, and Corey gave great effort today.

Another chance to pick up a big road win dashed. The guys need to figure out it's a 40 minute game. 3 guys scoring more then 20 points is very unacceptable as is getting outrebounded by 14. Darius and Almar were no shows. A 40 minute effort will be needed to beat a talented San Francisco team on Wednesday.

[houstonbrave]

We were terribly sloppy in the first half. Darius was a total no-show. Corey continues to improve and his activity is a real asset. We had no answer for the seven footer. Duke is a fighter and put the team on his back in the second half. Need to get back at it Wednesday-San Francisco is better.

[Tommy]

We looked like a team that hadn’t played in 2 weeks. Too many offensive rebounds allowed and an abysmal 1st half. 0-2 in PST! Let’s stay away from the west coast moving forward.
