    North Carolina DECLINES NIT Bid - Bradley in 1982 Chose to Play and Won the NIT

    Did anyone else catch that North Carolina DECLINED a NIT Bid? For a team that played in last years NCAA final and was chosen at the beginning of the 2022-23 season as the preseason #1 - they have really fallen. It is disturbing that North Carolina's attitude is "a Bid to the Dance" or...

    DAVE SNELL - Broadcasting BRADLEY GAMES for the NEXT 20 YEARS

    A different type of topic. We Bradley Fans have been spoiled by Dave Snell and his excellent game broadcasts since 1979. Out here in Colorado I have my TV on with no sound and tune into Dave Snell and Chad Kleine on WMBD radio. What's fun is sometimes the radio broadcast is ahead of the tv...

    Who is Bradley's Closer ???? - Re: BUfan14 Jan 21st comment "Who Would You Trust"

    As the stats show from last nights Bradley vs Illinois State disappointing game - Bradley really does not have a true closer. Last night Bradley got really really lucky. Leon and Deen are the closest players to being closers. They were pretty reliable shooting their free throws. Rienk was...

    Who is Bradley's Closer ???? - Re: BUfan14 Jan 21st comment "Who Would You Trust"

    Yesterday after watching a very disappointing finish to the Bradley game against Belmont - I had the same thought as BUfan14 when he wrote "As far as facing Belmont again, who would we trust at the end of the game? Our guys or their guys. Friberg could sink a three anywhere at any point. We...

    Ja'Shon Henry

    Well to begin - I am surprised that there is yet a Bradley Fan article regarding Ja'Shon Henry's season being over. When I read this news in Bradley Hoops - I was beyond upset with the entire situation. I quickly became a Ja'Shon fan his sophomore year and have been one ever since. Ja'Shon...
