Final: Drake 72 Bradley 67

Limit our turnovers, defend, rebound and make shots. We can beat them as long as we do not let them make runs on offense like they have in the two previous games against us.We have the players to beat them they just need to perform at the highest level tonight. They understand this could be the last game they play this season.
I just hope we get an unbiased crew officiating this game.
 
Agonizing to not be able to ever watch the semis for Arch Madness. GL Braves and hope to be able to watch them tomorrow!
 
Will be listening on the Radio tonight. Win or lose, I hope it goes down to the wire! If Bradley plays great later today, then win or lose, they can know they gave it there best shot!
 
I cancelled my ESPN+ because the renewal date was March 6, so settled for listening to the UIC game on the radio. Still love Dave and Chad but sometimes it's hard to follow the game because Dave isn't giving the constant rapid fire delivery he did when young. Headed to a friend's house tonight because he gets CBS Sports.

He also goes long periods of time without giving the score.
 
Turnovers! Stop with the unforced stupid turnovers and we can win this! Also, I didn't love Brian's substitutions that half. Linke and Atlason can't be in at the same time, as it weakens the defense too much. Linke needs to be a 3-4 minute a half sub and that's it, a couple of bad offensive possessions because he reacted too slow. It's money time, play the best 7 with just a few minutes otherwise in my opinion. Good game so far, gonna have to keep hitting shots and again, stop turning it over. We outshot them by a lot but gave them a lot of second chances too. Keeping making it tough dor DeVries Malevy!
 
Well I think our weaknesses cost us tonight, same ones I've seen all year. We were a starting 3 guard short of being good enough this year. Also, we need a backup point even if Deen is back next year. Connor is fine enough in the middle of games for stretches, but he is not a point guard in the crunch, as been demonstrated over and over again in his career. Great shooting guard, great player, maybe even combo guard in stretches, but not a point guard.

I know Brian was trying to manage fouls, but again having Linke and Atlason in the game at the same time cost us. We went back up 58-56 and then those two were in at the same time during an important stretch and Drake scored a bunch and we didn't. Finally, Brian then put Hannah and Deen back in. But it cost us.

We had a good solid, but not great, year. I know everyone says we lost a lot, but Ville and Mast were normal losses, and Zek should have been replaced. Overall, a fun year, but this offseason is going to be fascinating. If everyone stays, and we recruit the portal better, we should be in the running next year. But who know in today's world. I am assuming we will not be in the NIT. We have to do better recruiting this year in the portal! We were incredibly lucky to be as healthy as we were this year or this year could have really went south. The Hickman injury was the only major one and even that wasn't super long.
 
We did not get a fair shake as far as officiating. We made mistakes at the end but the refs putting our good players in foul trouble was the deciding factor. The Drake players and led by their coach constantly complained most of the game which ended up getting them a lot of bad foul calls on us. Most of those foul calls were never be made by decent tour. officials.
 
Getting to the point where I don’t like Drake.
But it’s mostly because they have our number.

Guess we’re bound for a road game in NIT.
Nice season - a little short of expectations, but our transfers didn’t do squat, and that was the difference between the top 2 teams and BU.
 
I assume the runner up will get an At Large bid considering how much stronger the Valley was this year and the great resumes by both teams.
Indy St is a lock, but maybe Drake gets shafted.
Guess I’ll root for Drake to ensure there are 2 Valley teams.
 
That one was definitely rough. I'm assuming you mean this years transfers because Leons, Duke, and Davis all did well.
