Also, the scoreboard was well utilized today. When is the last time we scored this many points? Their man defense allowed so many pts from penetration / kicking to the open man / shot fakes, etc.

Offensively...a very good game! Ball movement was very good and we attacked the boards.
Defensively...we played well enough to win. They backdoored us to death!
Need to keep it rolling and work towards the tourney.

I was very surprised by this and would expect to see more zone in the game at their place.
it was nice to see Edge kick it out to the open man a little more effectively.
In recent games he's been shut down w/ that pass...but it worked very well today
started off well w/ a pass to SM right away...i think on the second possession.
great game...TW is my hero

Between Roberts, TW, and TB....i'd go w/ TW and Roberts because fo their fantastic game...perhaps just not enough minutes in the game for all 3
well played by all three though
great game

Very good win for the Braves with an effort by all...I wonder when the last time was BU scored 30 pts on FT's in a game?
Today...30-37 @ the line
Theron was 14-18 from the line. Has he ever shot more?
CU up 69-48 with 6:21 to go.
Obviously I would like to see CU and UNI win out in order to put them both into at-large contention. Then either when one of them or someone else wins the Valley tournament, the other or at least one of both if neither win will have a shot at an at-large bid. UNI by virtue of winning the Valley regular season, and Creighton by virtue of a strong second place finish and wins over Dayton and UNI both have compelling arguments for the NCAA Tournament. The Bracketbuster will be very important for both of them though.
Thanks for posting the links.
That was a very entertaining and fun game to watch. Evansville hung in the game with some aggressive play and good shooting in the second half, but it seemed like Bradley was always able to pull away whenever Evansville close the gap.
Outstanding games by Sam M., Theron W., and Chris Roberts, and Dodie Dunson.
Attendance was 10,404 for a odd start time, a TV game, and an opponent that is not much of a draw. The crowd and the students were great.

Good game all around. I thought the team had a little more swagger today but I guess that should be expected when playing at home. DC had one of his better games today. He had a little fire in his belly and was really going after the blocked shots today. He also passed the ball better than he ever has. If he continues to play like this the rest of the way BU can be a very scary team in STL. Chris Roberts 
is an amazing athlete. He is really coming on again late in the season. He can be a difference maker for BU down the stretch. We need Darien Norris to find (and make) his shot a little more. He only had one shot today but we didn't need him as much today. I hope he stays aggressive and confident on the offensive end. BU needs some production from him.
One down....four to go...let's win em' all!

Good game in that we won and our offense made more shots:
C.Roberts and T.Wilson both played very well.
D.Collins had a good game but he went up against a weak opponent , he needs to do this against the other centers in the league.
T Brown played great but why does he not get in the 2nd half?
D.Norris not enough minutes.
S.Maniscalco good on offense but bad on defense.
D.Dunson had an ok game for him.
E.McCain good on defense but needs to be more of a threat on offense as teams are backing off of him more each game.
S.Singh can play better.
A.T. might have been able to contribute agaist Evansville" center who was pretty bad, he must really play bad in practice to not get any chance at seeing miutes in a game.
Still having a hard time figuring out the coaches substituion pattern, once again some guys played too many minutes.

Taylor Brown will get his minutes next year. Coach Les sees him as a "4", so he won't play him at the 5 unless both Sam Singh and DC are in foul trouble. So for now he has to take the few minutes when Theron is on the bench. He does seem to produce well in the short time he plays. But his play also drops off the longer he is in the game. So for now they want to keep his stints short.
I don't know that either team played good defense.
We shoot almost 60% and UE shoots 53%.....
I'm not sure why we overplay so much so far away from the basket and get burned on the back door.....
CR has played pretty well now the last two games...hopefully that continues into the tourney. We will need the depth
I have always liked watching Ely, he is a ton in the paint.
I thought EM played decent today...you didn't see him leaving his feet much in the paint..
Few charges called in the first half.....but the refs made up for it in the second....wow
