well, it's garage sale tim eof the year and guess what....
A past Bradley Men's Basketball player had some of his own personal team issued items at a garage sale.
Here's a photo of one of the items... (sorry it's reversed, but someone prob knows how to fix that)
Smart fans can prob guess roughly what time span it comes from because Glasser & Cross made a terrible deal with adidas which Dr. Reynolds was able
to re-work in 2018 then- BU switched to a deal with Under Armour. Thankfully it was not from this era.
(not going to mention which player)

How many remember former BU Brave Michael Rembert (2003-2005)?
He was just hired as Head Boys Basketball Coach at Yorkville Christian High School after two seasons as assistant at Lisle Benet Academy
Benet went 36-2 last year and 32-5 the year before.
They finished 2nd in Class 4A last year and in 2023 and won the State Championship in 2025. They've gone 131-16 over the past four seasons.
Congrats to Mike!

Michael was a good kid who was a 6'9" forward/center from Chicago St. Rita HS. He came to Bradley in 2003, recruited by Jim Les. But, after Patrick O'Bryant, Lawrence Wright, and Marcellus Sommerville were added to the BU roster the next season, Michael struggled to get playing time. So, after 2 seasons with the Braves, he transferred to SEMO, where he became a starter and put up good numbers.

Does anyone else remember the story about how Coach Les convinced Michael Rembert to commit to Bradley over his other finalist, SIU?
It had something to do with telling Michael, "why would you pick a Yugo when you can have a Ferrari?".

Ahhh, the good 'ole days
Not directly basketball releated...
but daughter of former Brave David Selby, Brianna Selby, is one of the top sprinters in NCAA Women's Track - is transferring from USC to Kentucky
I wonder where they came up with that term, "Bully Ball".
I don't think Iowa State's roster is quite as strong overall as it was last year, so maybe Jaquan will be relied on for his offense. They also have Leon Bond from UNI and a few other transfers to go along with several freshmen and sophomores. But their leading scorer Milan Momcilovic (16.9 ppg) withdrew from the NBA Draft and signed with Kentucky for $6 million in NIL, and they lost double digit scorers Josh Jefferson (16.4 ppg) and Tamin Lipsey (13.5 ppg). They also lost another UNI transfer, Nate Heise, who used up his eligibility.

Here's an interesting USAToday article on some of Bradley's past players -- not sure why, but always nice to see BU get some media coverage

It would have been nice if they could have at least mentioned that Bobby Joe Mason had a nice career with the Harlem Globetrotters.

Barney Mines towards the end of the game in the NIT championship. Tremendous unsung hero on that teamI saw this on another social media site about great high school players from Illinois...
can anyone (other than Da Coach) name who, when and where this incredible reverse layup happened?
100%!!!!
Yes, that breakaway, fancy, switch-hands reverse layup was the nail in the coffin that ended the Bradley win over Purdue
in the 1982 NIT in New York - giving the Braves a 67-58 win in the NIT Championship game.
Barney Mines and Willie Scott each finished with 17 points, Mitchell Anderson had 16 & 7.
I tried to find the BradleyFans thread from that night, but I guess the search feature doesn't go back that far.
I was there.
The other players in the photo are #33 for Bradley, freshman Anthony Webster, and #15 for Purdue, Jim Bullock, a freshman reserve guard.
The entire game video is available on YouTube, thanks to Tommy.
I can actually be seen for a second or two in the video after the game ends, and fans swarm onto the floor.
