Love how we regrouped after the Birds went on a 15-0 run. I gotta admit I was worried.
Alex didn't hit a single 3, which kept ISU within striking distance.

Quanny played outstanding as usual.
Timo was a big factor, and Meta played very well!

The defense was great the last 3 minutes.

Yikes! I didn't realize how off BU was from deep tonight. Could have cruised to a win with even 33% made.
I wasn't impressed with ISU once again. I didn't see the blowout win at home vs BU, but I've seen them a few times and they don't look as strong as last season. I'd be pissed if I were a Redbird fan at the high expectations and inconsistent play.

Impressive win for the Braves who played well for about 32 minutes.
 
I think if we had blown that 18 point lead and lost I would have burned our remaining season tickets, my closet full of Bradley apparel, and my diploma.

Good win tonight. It was like being back in the 1980's with the sell out crowd.

I’m not sure, but I think the last sellout was when Jim Les was the coach and we barely lost to Michigan State.

I think it was more recent. The last regular season game of the 2022-23 season was against Drake for the regular season title. Bradley won 73-61. and it was called a sellout.
Tonight's attendance was 10,458-

The only ones close since then were:
The ISU game on 2/24/24 was the highest attendance game of the 2023-24 season- 9,201
And the ISU game on 1/25/25 was the highest attendance game of the 2024-25 season- 9,646
 
10,500 is sellout capacity now with the adjustments to seating areas throughout the arena. It used to be 11,500 until maybe about 2014/15.
 
Expect my write up tomorrow, but I absolutely loved how our big guys finished at the rim. 27-41 (65.8%) from 2 point range was our best games of the season on the interior.
