Postgame, BU wins 75-73

[lefty]

Good game, Braves....especially with so many really "tough" fouls being called.
I think it must be the consensus of officials in the Valley to just let Eric Coleman get away with anything he wants!

Coleman is very good player...I don't think he gets away with everything

[BradleyBrave]

Coleman is the dirtiest player in the MVC, and when he is allowed to get away with his flailing and flopping like he was tonight, it can be a long night. Being able to overcome that says a lot.

What is JL's problem?

He doesn't start the right players. He doesn't substitute well. He doesn't call timeouts well. They can't rebound. They can't play D.

Do I need to go on???

----hehe----

Nice win! Congrats to BU, the players, coaches and staff. GD it - we all know we all needed it!

well I still wondered why he left SS in with 4 fouls and over 10 minutes left...but nice win by BU....hopefully the build off it and regain some confidence

Greetings from Cedar Falls!

We're on the way back. What an exciting win! Every BU player contributed, and Jeremy had his best game of his career. There was a small but vocal contingent of Bradley fans, including a bunch of Tyrone Cole-Scott's family.

Nice to see Bradley play a complete game.

Nice to see Dubl R 1 and Wonder Woman!

Let's go BU!

Tonight's game just makes last Saturday's debacle all the harder to stomach. But, what's done is done. We've got 13 league games left, and 7 of those are at home. We can't drop another at home, and need to win at least 1 if not 2-3 more road games. If we can do that, we can work our way into anywhere between 4th and 6th. Most importantly, we can stay out of Thursday. Efforts like tonight will make that happen.

Cool! See what happens when I don't listen to the game!

This is definately a makeup win for the UNI home loss. So that turned out to be a wash. If we can steal one at Wichita St and win at least 6 or our remaining 7 home games, maybe, just maybe an NIT bid could be in the outing (or that new tournament that's supposed to start up this year). Better yet, this could be the spark that gets us out of the dreaded Thursday night play-in round. Then you never know what could happen in St. Louis.

Let's just keep taking things one step at a time. Drake won't be easy, but they need to be tested on the road, and hopefully an upset could be in the making. But a great win tonight, that's for sure!

Heh. I've got a similar superstition. I sometimes watch the game without audio. As we started to play well, I turned on the audio to listen to the broadcast. We started to do poorly. So, I left the audio off the rest of the game. Yes, I am weird. Whatever it takes to help the team win the game.

Hey, whatever works! I've helped the Cubs win many games using that method as well!

[BradleyBrave]

I don't want the NIT, and I don't think we have much of a chance at it. What I do think is that this team can make a real run in this conference up to the top 5 as we start to 'get it' and get one of the league's best players back. All I care about right now is positioning ourselves for a run in St. Louis. If healthy, I think we have as good of a shot as anyone to win 3 games in 3 days in St. Louis as long as we stay out of Thursday.

[BuBraves55]

nice job by les getting more depth tonight

[BradleyBrave]

Bradley wins the rebounding battle. Any coincidence that BU won the game as well?

You're absolutely right. But an NIT bid, IF we don't win those 3 games in 3 days, would be a lot better than were we are right now. But yes, let's try to win the Valley tournament first and foremost.

I'd take the NIT over no postseason though.

[real fan]

I have to agree that Coleman seems to get away with a lot of fouls as he leans into the defensive player every time; it was great to see Crouch eat him alive 1 on 1 at the end of the game as it was a huge difference maker; and I said it before just Rebound, Rebound and Rebound and good things will happen; this was a real team effort as everyone really contributed.

Think I saw Big Mike on TV sitting next to DC. Way to root em on guys. Big win. And to answer bradleybrave....YES the rebounds were the deciding factor.
