[Big Mike]

Halftime:
WS....24
BU.....22 in a very physical game.....the Braves can get this game......at the moment the Shox are in more foul trouble than the Braves and PO'B is starting to feel his own! Come-on Braves let's keep it going! :mrgreen:

Is Zack in the dog house again?

[Big Mike]

Come -on Big PAPPY........nice pass DR! I think ZA's lack of D and who his man is will keep him out of the close games.....IMO!

[Big Mike]

Question: with PO'B on the bench with 3 fouls.......why is Boogie not in the game....at least for JJ ? :?

[Big Mike]

Hey............Big Pappy is becoming a MAN right in front of our eyes! :mrgreen:

Congrats Bradley!!! What a terrific effort over the past month! No way one would think they would be walking all over these great teams away from Carver Arena about a month ago!

Anyone heading to St. Louis for tomorrow, say hello to Dick Enberg and Clark Kellogg! :D

This was a great win for the Braves. They have to feel real good about themselves right now, as well they should.

Great job!

I was having a coronary wondering that myself. :lol:
Brandon hung in there and did the job while he was in there though. Hats off to him.

Someone commented they didn't want to face UNI after we wooped them so bad in the UNIDome. I don't know about this. I think we got their number this year and Bradleys confidence with them would show. ...Or mabye that's just my confidence.

Ha, ha...this box score on espn is funny.
They have Ray Brown as playing and getting one rebound.
I hope Ray enjoyed his minute, because he didn't get off the bench, the scorer is wrong!

see my post elsehwhere under title "Report from Savvis..."

Unofficially I have PO'B with 75 blocks last year and 66 this year including todays win over WS for a total of 141! :-o This is all in 2 years and missing 9 games in that period! Again the Bradley All Time school record is 180 in 4 seasons by Donald Powell! With at least 2 more games remaing this season and if he comes back next year he would shatter the current record! Let's all hope he comes back! :idea: :wink:

[Fastbreak]

Awesome game.
BU and Jim find a way to win.
down the stretch it was JJ, today it was Heemy, who will it be tomorrow.

Jim's tough man to man shut down 2 or WSU best scorers.
O'Bryant didn't even have his best game and was hampered with stinky fouls, and he was a man over Miller!

Cellus 13 rebs?
I don't know if I saw them all, but hey, I'll take it.

Great job Braves.

[BTID]

Sommerville was a horse on the boards today. It seemed like anytime O'Bryant altered a shot, Cellus was there to grab the miss. Our shooting still isn't good enough to inspire the awe we generated at Northern Iowa, but this team is playing lights-out defense right now. Our defensive intensity is outstanding. The effort is there on just about every possession, and that's a good thing when you struggle from the field like we have so far in St. Louis. Then again, most of the teams have not had the touch from the floor at Savvis this weekend.

[SFP]

It was the D again and the bench played big minutes to allow constant pressure. Cellus also played great D and his 13 rebounds were huge! He is leading this team by example right now. If you ask me he did not touch the ball enough on O. If he gets into any type of rhythm with the other team having to shut down POB by doubling him we'll be real tough to beat. I believe we are tourney bound. Let's win one more to secure it!

[corilon]

Almost makes me wonder if the notoriously tight rims in St Louis are affecting these guys as much as the pressure. The second games shouldn't be causing this much trouble for everyone.

[BU Bill]

Here are the shooting percentages for all the games so far-

Thursday:
Indiana State 72 48.2% overall, 9.1% on 3 pointers, 65.4% FTs
Drake 63 40.4%, 31.6%, 64.7%

ISU 45 32.1%, 17.4%, 62.5%
Evansville 52 38.1%, 29.4%, 68.2%

Friday:
Indiana St. 63 40.7%, 40.0%, 70.0%
Wichita St. 81 51.9%, 43.5%, 78.9%

Bradley 54 31.7%, 19.0%, 70.6%
Creighton 47 30.0%, 10.0%, 83.3%

Evansville 55 37.8%, 35.7%, 72.7%
SIU 71 38.6%, 25.0%, 65.7%

UNI 57 38.1%, 42.1%, 73.9%
MSU 42 28.8%, 23.5%, 80.0%

Saturday:
WSU 52 32.1%, 31.2%, 68.8%
BU 60 35.7%, 15.4%, 85.7%

SIU 55 44.4%, 22.2%, 72.2%
UNI 46 34.7%, 15.8%, 60.0%

A lot of low percentages.
5 of the 8 winning teams have shot in the 30's.
Maybe it's the rims, or maybe the background?
