The last eight minutes was a great atmosphere, it was as loud as I can ever remember it being. It looked like a different team out there for the final eight minutes.
Last Valley team standing playing and ACC team makes me feel darn proud.

Oh, I thought that was on the Ohio website. My bad!
Great work by the Bradley stat crew!

AW, (if you catch this) you do not always have to be so darn nice. Please, take over the game, all game!You forgot Andrew Warren's 22 points (as his first time back as a starter in a while), including that game-tying shot! We're glad you're back (and feeling fine), Andrew Warren!
Great games like tonight still only look like a brief glimpse of your potential.
Mike did you happen to notice DD towards the end of the game...last 8 minutes....was he in to it?

Anybody notice AW's "quick-change" after a badly missed 3? Next possession, his hand wrap with protective plate was gone.
Few minutes later, he hit the game-tying shot!

In the how we got Virginia thread, the CBI mentioned they did not want an all C-USA final (Houston and Tulsa) so they put the winners of those games on one side of the bracket. BU and Virginia got the other side.

That was no doubt the loudest to 2nd loudest crowd of the season. I thought for sure there was 9-10,000 there as it looked pretty full but the crowd was louder than a sell out for sure. The Ohio coach mentioned after the game that Carver was the 2nd loudest arena, besides Kansas, that he's ever played in. I thought Bradley was a goner for sure as we had no answer at all for that Leon but then the 9 minute mark hit and the crowd really got into it. From then on it was like deer in the headlights for the OH offense. They turned it over nearly every time they tried to get it to Leon down low. Just a great evening at Carver. Now onto VA, I think we can take em as long as the turnovers are kept low and the FG % is around 45-50ish. VA's big men might be a step slow if we can work the ball around good for some open shots.

If you have that at No. 2, Mich St. and ISU better be 1 and 1A.
In any case, great crowd for 6,000 and change. I'll rank it as No. 3.
I think this crowd put out more volume than the ISU game... The whole arena was standing the last five minutes, the students were screaming during that time entire time, and not just the first couple rows... It was seriously intense.

After coming down from the high of tonight's victory, there are still some things that bugged me, though it's probably too late in the season for things to get fixed. Leaving aside the fact that as soon as warm ups started it looked like some of the players weren't taking the game too seriously, some thoughts ...
Our offense was stagnent for most of the night, but as soon guys started moving off the ball we started our comeback. There were times in the first half where it looked like we were playing Dean Smith's 4 corners with Daniel having the ball up top and having no one to pass to.
I know it's been said hundreds of times but David Collins really needs to hit the weight room/toughen up this offseason. It seems like there is some potential there and I hope he works hard in the offseason to fulfill it.
Will Egolf is really starting to get on my nerves. As soon as I saw that he was coming in I commented to the people around me that as soon as he touched the ball he would shoot a three. Well not two minutes into his time on the court he gets the ball in the corner on a pass from Daniel and up goes a three, and go figure, he missed. He is now 0-14 on the season and I don't know if anyone has been in his ear about it but he really needs to stop jacking up three's. I'm sure he can make the outside shot, but he's obviously not getting the job done and it'd be great if he stopped shooting from long distance.
I thought our bigs, Theron, Matt S., and Rashad played a good game. I was worried that we were going to get tore up inside but as it turned out it was their good shooting that gave them their lead. That Bubba kid can really fill it up.
I can't wait to see more of Sam M. and Andrew playing together. Andrew had a great game tonight and Sam continues to improve with every game. I thought he (Sam) was especially aggressive tonight in getting to the basket and that's a good sign. His ability to penetrate the defense can provide open looks for our shooters if the defense collapses on him.
I'm not trying to be overly pessemistic, I guess I just get frustrated watching our guys making the same mistakes they were making in the begining of the season. The atmosphere was great tonight and even though the arena wasn't full the place rocked. I'm glad we got the win, now it's on to Virginia!

I can only think of what Bruce Weber is thinking to himself right now. Seeing all these highlights & stories of Bradley advancing to the Final Four of a tournament. All that Chicago publicity, sure havn't see any positive Illini stories in the press lately. Eat it up boys eat it up.
