Though I totally agree, I think it's how the games are scheduled. The game at Bradley is going to sell out if they play it at 7 a.m., so that's why we always play the Birds during the middle of the week (and hence, not on TV).

For some reason, ISU always wants this weird start time for the game. I'm sure there's plenty of people around who know why they choose this time as opposed to a normal gametime of 7 p.m. If it were at 7, I'd pretty much guarantee it would be the MVC game of the week.
 
The Braves can better the chance to win this game by keeping up the aggressive defense.....thru 10 Valley games the Braves have moved to #1 giving up 59.5 pts/game.....and now are #1 in steals! D' will give the Braves the best chance on the road to win IMO!

I am in agreement. If we can make them play slower and set the tempo with our D, as well as hit our three pointer like we did against Wichita at home then we win this game.
 
isu has a fanfest at Horton before the game; it is kind of like the taste of Peoria in that you pay to get in and they have restaurants that give out samples of their food specialty, Budweiser is also there to sell beer for those of legal age. They believe that their students turn out better for late afternoon games rather then night games during the weekend since there is so much other stuff going on during the weekend.

And there I was predicting that Bradley would have to score 70 or more to win...

Seems to me I'm not the only one wrong huh DC ;-)


Oh, and just to clarify...that is my opinion and I think this because I don't believe there's any way we hold them in the 50's on their home floor. They have played only 4 games in the 50's in the last 2 years and 3 were last season. And for that matter, the one this year was kind of an abberation as the team they played only scored 33 and held the ball for long periods of the shot clock almost everytime down the floor and that team is now 4-14 and just simply a really bad team.

If we want to win, yes we will have to lock down Oguchi like before and Eldridge better than we did in Peoria, but simply put, we are going to have to put the ball in the basket, and Sammy will have to shoot much better than he did Wednesday night.

Just checked and the game is being streamed on ChannelSurfing (at least as of 6:46 EST). Maybe an alternative feed for when BUBraves inevitably goes down?:mad:
 
Stop the 3's, push them out of the lanes. NO turn overs, drive the lanes and dish, and feed the post. We will need a good game form DC and SS.

We CANNOT out OFFENSE these guys, on their floor. We have to out DEFENSE the birds.
If the game is in the high 60's or above, IMO we lose!

So that they do not get off to a quick start, we really need to start our best "D". DD, EM, TW, CR, and DC. DC, if only to clog the middle.

I am going to Red Bird arena for the 1st. time. I aleays felt that my type A personality and their obnoxious fans was like mixing Urea Nitrogen with Propane.
However, I am now older, weaker, and slower, + they do not serve beer there. Therefore, I am going to attempt it.
Glue me to my seat and put tape over my mouth!
I just hope somebody has my back!
 
Why did Collins get so many minutes in the 2nd half and why would we go down and shoot a layup with 6 seconds to go as even if we make it they still have a chance to win it, my preference is shoot a 3 to win it on the road . I thought most of our team played great and deserved to win this game, unfortunately 1 guy really hurt us and all you have to do is look at the stats. We could have easily won the last 2 games on the road.
