Darius is back

[Tommy]

I am so happy to hear this! Darius is one of my all-time favorite Braves and when I heard he wasn't going to play, it really broke my heart. I'll be wearing my Hannah jersey come Wednesday and suspect he's going to put up some monster numbers for us. Love you, DH!

I hope Zek has a change of heart, as well. It was so great finding out he was returning to finish out his college career where he started it and he's really been such a great player on both ends of the court. Not having him would really be a loss for the team and the fans and sitting out the NIT would just be a terrible way to end it all. Will always love Zek for coming back for his senior year regardless and I hope he changes his mind by Wednesday.

Also good news that Christian Davis has an attorney appealing getting another year at Bradley....good luck Christian!.

This would be HUGE! He does a little bit of everything and we have a lot of young guys who would benefit from Christian’s tutelage and leadership. If I could choose any senior to return for next season it would be CD cause he provides so much - especially the intangibles

Why??
Darius has been SUPER loyal to BU for years and has persevered through thick and thin to get to where he is today. He came back this season when he could have gone elsewhere. He most definitely should be welcomed back with open arms.
THANK YOU DARIUS!

I disagree, being loyal means this should not have happened in the first place. Saying he made a mistake is the part that matters most.

So a few days of being "disloyal" (which could be argued) erases 5 years of being 100% loyal? I don't buy that.

Hahaha

Sure am! (Almost 17 yrs)
Quite a bit different though in this case - not like he cheated on his team and I think disloyal is not really a fair tag for the situation and for who we're talking about. I think if any of us were in DH's shoes, it would have been tough to cope with in the moment...more than for anyone else on the team. And Hannah has been the essence of LOYAL to Bradley for 5 years.

I'd absolutely be upset at him had he stayed with his initial decision, but keep in mind in this age of college athletics where the transfer portal is WIDE open, he's sacrificed so much and given to the program when most guys wouldn't have stuck with it like he did in tough times. His loyalty to Bradley and willingness to work so hard to EARN a starting spot is the biggest reason he's one of my favorite 5 Braves in the Wardle era, so I will defend that.

SO GLAD Hannah decided to play b/c I don't think we advance without him. He's been great the last 5 games (really since the Evansville game 9 games ago) for BU...overall a solid season once again for DH.

No way Bradley wins this game without Darius. So glad we have him back!

true story. He did a lot in limited minutes.

On a side note, wow did Connor Dillon show up with the intensity! 8 rebounds and a couple great hustle plays!

Seem to be a lot of glitches and error messages lately with the site. Anyone else experience that? Never seen as much as last few days.

[LittleBrave]

Yes, Tommy - Dilly was big last night, and he's been that kind of player when he's had the chance all season. He threw up some rare few brick free throws. The FT disparity made the game closer than it should have been.

I couldn't believe how many of our 3-pointer rattled in and out in the 2nd half.

Off topic here, but I also have been experiencing site issues. Like wanting to jump ahead on pages on a specific subject where it says can't connect to server. Or sometimes trying to post replies, I get the same message. Hope it is with the site and not my phone.

Yes. Me too. I tried two times to post my reply and it failed.

Please be patient. The server has been experiencing problems for the last week or so. It's being worked on. It's a bad time for these issues, since the traffic on Bradleyfans has been setting records the last 4-6 weeks. We are hoping it will get fixed, soon.
