Don't they know how to play any defense in the ACC?

Somehow, Dave Leito's teams look the same whether it's DePaul or Virginia. They don't play any defense, and they aren't as good as MVC teams.

Bradley wins a big one in Charlottesville, Virginia to make it to the finals of the CBI. Now we wait for Houston-Tulsa.

Threads from the Virginia fan message boards--

Bradley has better coached talent than us--

Leito must go (it must kill them to get massacred by an MVC team!)--

Bradley has a pretty good program--

Here are the rest of them. Suddenly there is a lot of respect for Bradley--

Why couldn't we play this well during the year, we might still be in the NCAA tourny!

Anyways do we boast about being in the CBI finals?? ;)

If the championship comes, that will be a nice piece of trivia to place BU in the record books!

This team was absolutely destroyed by injuries and bad luck. Now we're seeing what we all expected. Kudos to the team and coach Les for keeping it all together. :)
 
They were chanting SIN-GLE-TA-RY at the end of the game.

I want that Virginia fan to come back here and show us some more Virginia highlights.
 
Did anyone else notice that once they started fouling us they only missed like one shot. They really are a good come-back team it's just we are a good free throw team also. On the subject of free throws, what's up with SM. I've noticed that he's missed some key free throws at the end of games that keeps the score up. Maybe it's just my imagination.

I can't say enough about Matt Salley and how he's been playing lately..I'll miss him next year even with AT.

I thought DC didn't do too bad again..he at least didn't look like he was lost.

Daniel Ruffin...did excellent on scoring and especially on finding the open man. It was fun to watch him.

And of course JC....need I say more.

I can't wait to see the braves back in Peoria one more time...hopefully they reseed and we can get 2 more home games.
 
Well...I hope those who said playing in the CBI was a bad idea are reconsidering, and I think this is pretty strong evidence that our season would have been quite different had we not had the injury problems that we had.

if we had this team the whole year we would have been a top 3 team easily and at the very least a op NIT team and a decent chance of a bid in the NCAA. Heck, we might be still playing in the NCAA's if we had this whole team his year
 
Hey...Digger and Bilas said you gotta do it every night in the Big East and ACC...Give me a break! The Big LEAST and the Acc (Outside of UNC the rest of the conference doesn't deserve capital letters) aren't on that much of a different level than the MVC. Yes, they're better conferences. But they aren't in a league of their own like the talking heads would have you believe.

I think if we had this JC the whole year, would have finished top 3 and maybe made the NCAA. This JC (the one playing from the Drake road win on) would have given us at least 5 more wins IMO
 
That was a great game! I can't believe that we actually won, given how cold Crouch was in the first half. However, he (and the rest of our team) got red-hot, and they prevented Virginia from making a run late in the second half. On to the championship series! :-D
 
Hey, there were people posting on message boards saying Jeremy Crouch was NOT a D-I basketball player...

But then that's why we have BradleyFans.com!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love you JC, congrats on the great game!!
 
Great for the team to overcome the early jitters and just win huge over an ACC team!

JC was the man, and he totally doesn't want to take off that jersey. Matt Salley had a great game too defensively. His hands have gotten better. Caught some of those strong, quick passes from Ruffin to score.

Looking forward to the finals!
 
Houston now losing to Tulsa, 20-14.

I wouldn't mind playing Houston, just so the students can make fun of Tom Penders' fake hair!!
