Final score: Drake 77 Bradley 51

Penn at his graduation

Hilarious!
I do have a lot of respect for Penn, but Devries seems like a little punk. Then again, other teams could perceive Connor to be as well at times.

All in all, time for these 8th year seniors to finally leave Drake!!!
 
Gotta be tough for Ville to have to watch his last Arch Madness game in a warm-up suit.
I feel for all the guys right now, and all the loyal fans who made the trip to St. Lou to sit through that.
 
Great weekend that unfortunately ended with a very poor performance- but if you didn’t enjoy watching this group of fine young men this year maybe find another team to follow. Let’s regroup and get ready for NIT game in Carver!

Nice and upbeat post.
I think we all need that. So much excitement these young men and Coach Wardle gave us the last 2 months!

Agreed!

But will we host in NIT? I was under the impression we would not be a high enough seed.
 
It’s a hard way to end the season. However, we had a good year and came up a little short. Winning the conference enables us to pull up the boot straps and have a good showing in the NIT. We had a very good season. One we haven’t had in 27 years.
 
Disappointing day within a great season. Winning a Valley regular season championship was beyond my realistic expectations! Let’s see what postseason opportunity presents itself this year that the guys can sink their teeth into.

Was a great weekend in the ‘Lou, even though it did end with a thud.
 
My feelings are Bradley will host an NIT home game on attendance draw alone ...:-o;-)

I'm not sure it works that way Big Mike. I think home court is decided based solely on seeding, not popularity or attendance potential. I think the EIEIO Tournaments use that criteria.
 
Just read Wardles press conference in the Journal Star. Good read. Gave credit where it was due. Admitted our shortcomings. Pointed out the difference in experience/age which was huge. Looking forward to post season tournament play. Sure it would be nice if it was the NCAA and not the NIT, but even getting through a couple rounds of the NIT will go along way with getting our program back to what it used to be.

Every team has games where nothing goes right. Today was our day. Shout out to my favorite Brave, JaShon Henry, because he battled to the end today.
