Yeah, that was a tough one. But I loved the energy in the arena. Now, UNI awaits, and BU rolled in the last meeting.

Still: what a change from recent years: only 2 home losses, total.

What's up with Jim Mattson. No mention about the Bradley women's game during his sports show. I am sick and tired of his bias with Illinois. I know he went to school there but he needs to be reminded of where he lives and works. Peoria and what is the University in the town

Mattson should move to Champaign simply because his sports program is 80% Illinois and 20% whatever he decides to throw in that day. It has been like this for years and will not change until he retires or leaves.
