**My thanks to Bradley Sports Information Director, Bobby Parker for some assistance on filling in some of the gaps that I didn't know as a newbie - those of you who don't know Bobby...you've got an unbelievable resource and a tremendous person there...you should be glad he is a Bradley Brave! - Thanks Bobby**

If any of you have any additional information about any of the games that I don't info for, feel free to share.
 
It's interesting how many of those games happened with JL as coach. Whatever one thinks of his tenure, there's no denying his teams have produced some of the best memories in BU basketball history. And I have a feeling he's just getting started.
 
I didn't list those two games back to back where Jim inbounded to Hersey with virtually no time left for miracle shots that led to wins (over Drake at the buzzer, then over Dayton in OT)..
those were two great games and great finishes!
