".....you know, I'm really tiring of Bradley's end game antics. First 2 games in a row of intentional off the ball fouls to stop the game clock, and now jacked up 3's at the buzzer with double digit lead. Come on, win with some class. Jim Les is really starting to earn a bad reputation for poor sportsmanship, which is sad, because that's not really representative of Bradley in general...."
 
Fair call by them but Jim said that they were yelling to hold the ball and CR was listening to the crowd to shoot for that number on the back of the ticket.
 
If your program had fallen as far as WSU's in the past 4 years you'd be looking for petty things to b!tch about as well. Heck, if BU was this bad there would probably be a nuclear meltdown on this board.

I guess we can either be mad at WSU guys like this or have pity on them. I'll go the pity route;) :lol:
 
I just posted in the post game thread that Les apologized to their coaches after the game. We saw him say "I apologize for that" to them.

We played well for sure. Sometimes I really couldn't figure out what WSU was trying to do. I do like how Dodie is shooting lately and DC seems to be playing with more energy.

I struggle with some of these other Valley teams. They just don't seem very good
 
Agree that it was a classless move by CR...should not have shot it.....however JL did apologize to Marshall for it...I could see him say "I apologize for that"
 
CR lofts up a half hearted long ball by the urging of the crowd and because it went in people think we are poor sports?

Guess what WSU is salty cause they have fallen on hard times and just need something to gripe about.

I THOUROUGLY ENJOYED the game and CRs shot was a mute point.

I guess it just hurts Marshall's feelings that the spread was 15.

Oh whatever! If the same thing happened at their place at the urging of their crowd (the key point here), they would have done the same thing. It was nice of Les to apologize to Marshall, but that was more than he needed to do.

And besides, it's not as if we beat them 100-0! ;)
 
Who cares if Roberts essentially throws a 35 foot 3 up and it happens to go in.. I seriously think he just threw it up at the basket and thought the clock had gone off. But even if it did go in and he ment it to go in so what?

And this stuff about the intentional fouls... if anyone with any sense thought about it, why exactly would BU be a bad sport for committing an intentional foul with 22 seconds left in a game at UNI where they were down 3 at the time. Doing something like that at that moment intentionally would have been one of the dumbest things any team could have done.

It was not an intentional foul, infact it wasnt a foul. But if some whiney WSU fan thinks it was intentional and that makes us some sort of a punk team fine... it really doesnt matter we put you twice this year in the W column and your just that much closer to a reservation for Thursday night.

I guess their sleeping giant has fallen back to sleep.
 
I thought I heard there was free food on the line? That the number on the back of the ticket stub was 63 and we had 62 when he shot it. If I've got 9,000 fans telling me to shoot it so they can get a free burger or whatever, I'm going to shoot it. The pros do this sometimes and fans start screaming for that last shot. Congrats to Chris - you made 9,000+ fans happy:D
 
Say what you want about CR's 3 at the end of the game, but if I was Gregg Marshall, I'd have a lot more things to worry about, and be concerned with other than that meaningless 3 points at the end of the game. If I was in his position that last second shot would not bother me at all, why worry about it? I'm not saying I would have, or approve of hoisting up shots when you have secured a win, but I certainly don't think anyone should be upset about it either. MOVE ON!
