If Gonar B hits at least one three pointer in this game, I predict the Braves will come out victorious.
 
Gotta at least split the next 2 tough roadies. Let's get one out of the way on Sat!
Would be nice to continue the strong play all around from Wed night's record-setting outcome.
 
We need to step up and win this game period. We also need to be the tougher team tomorrow because we have not played good down there since they Joined the Valley. Every player needs to go hard after every rebound like they did Wed. night . ISUR won there this season so no excuses for us not to win this game.

We bring anything close to the game we had against ISU Blue, we should be fine. Curious to see how BW plays the 5 on this one. I hope to see Meta get the start again.
 
Hopefully we can win the game today. The Belmont game might be a loss. Be great to win both, but a split on this road trip would be more realistic. Would love to see Meta take his performance from the last game as a springboard to keep improving. When he gets the ball down low just go strong to the basket. Either he will score or get fouled. When he hesitates when getting the ball down low is when he struggles. Let's pull this one out today."LET'S GO BRAVES":lol:
 
For those that have ESPN+ but it's not working, download the Hulu app and search for Bradley mens basketball. It says on Hulu "play on ESPN+" and that worked for me and 2 others
