Let's go get 'em

[IlliBraves]

Memphis is obviously a very good team, but despite what everyone else says, I have a very good feeling about this. Bradley and Memphis are very similar-both are very athletic and love to run the floor. BU proved that they can play with anyone in the country in defeating Kansas and Pitt, and Memphis has played in a weak conference and has not played anybody in the tournament thus far. My only concern is that BU keeps their momentum going. In my lifetime, I've never seen BU go this far and all this media attention is awesome. I hope that this momentum carries over and BU can become a Valley giant once again.

No matter what happens tonight, this season has been amazing. Thank you, Braves.

Memphis has beat UCLA, Gonzaga and Texas, they are very good but "you just never know".......

 

[Da Coach]

Actually, they lost to Texas by a last second basket.

You are correct, my bad....

we lost to texas by more than a last second basket, i think we lost by 9 and were never a big threat...our one game this year where we really looked bad.

We lost to Texas by 11, and lost to Duke and UAB by single digits.

Not exactly true. We led the TX game with around 5-6 mins to go and our inexperience came out. That was our first look at a solid 2/3 zone and we got rattled and started jacking up too many 3s. It was really a couple of possessions game but we started fouling at the end.

Anyway, I will be very curious to see if Bradley stays man-2-man on us the whole game. I think it will come down to how talented your subs are when your starters take a blow. Great year Braves, let's go out there and have a great game.

You guys also beat a good UAB team in their home court..... I also watched the Gonzaga game and it was that game that I knew you guys were for real. This will be a great game. If I was the commish of our league I'd try to get you guys to come back to the MVC. It would just make this league that much better. Thanks MSU fans for your posts. It has been enjoyable going over the game with you guys.

If the MVC keeps getting 4 bids to the dance, you won't have to twist my arm to move there. Actually, we lost to UAB at UAB and beat them both times in Memphis. UAB losing to KY really surprised me, thought they would win that one.

It didn't surprise me. If the Cats show up, they win. I'm a UK fan first, a Braves fan second but once a Brave, always a Brave.
