    Where do we end up at end of conf. season?

    😲 If this scenario plays out, it would make for one of the most memorable seasons ever.

    Bradley 3 Team Reunion Event

    I’ll be there. Was going to try to bring my dad too, but not sure if he’ll be up for the cold. I hope it’s well attended despite the poor weather. The guys deserve it.

    Final score: UIC 85 Bradley 70

    Tough game. We are not playing our best ball right now, and the UIC flames are literally on fire. If we bring the intensity of defense that we are capable of.... but bring it for the whole game (not just the last 6 min) I like our chances. If we fall short of that, it could be a repeat of...

    Final score: Bradley 75 Indiana State 68

    Right on the money. Many games we just come out and play “normal” effort basketball and get down. This team isn’t gifted or experienced enough to “just play.” We need to come out and scrap from the tip… and we could have a lot of success. That is what UIC has been doing to teams lately...

    Final score: Illinois State 88 Bradley 62

    When I was a kid, my dad and mom took me to Redbird arena during the Anthony Parker era so we could watch him try to beat the birds in Normal. The game was sold out and dad got tickets through a friend. The tickets ended up being the ISU student section. The comments and abuse we took were...

    Final score: Illinois State 88 Bradley 62

    Sucks to be ISU at the moment tho. Picked preseason favorite but on a 3 game skid and dropping games to lower half teams. Hope we can challenge them on Sat.

    3 MVC games Tuesday, Jan. 13 and 2 games Wed., Jan 14

    I have watched big chunks of the last 2 UIC wins. They are looking really scrappy and playing tough… playing with nothing to lose. A team that should be respected right now.

    Final score: Bradley 93 Drake 66

    If this team makes defense its #1 priority from the tipoff, it could be a contender.

    Final score: Bradley 76 Evansville 68

    He did miss a few, but at least one of those times it resulted in free throws. I say keep running the play and see if he can improve on it. It’s an exciting play and we don’t have a lot of other good low post scoring options in the bag.

    Final score: Bradley 73 vs Southern Illinois 69

    I agree here. Our perimeter defense wasn’t why they shot poorly, they just missed a lot of good looking threes. We may have lost if they’d even shot half respectably.

    Final score: Bradley 108 Indiana State 99

    with some of the whacky phantom calls from the game last night... I can tell you in the moment I was nervous about the idea of fouling in case they claimed it was a shooting foul. "as soon as he catches the ball" can coincide with a shooting motion if you're skilled and see it coming. these...

    Final score: Bradley 108 Indiana State 99

    Totally agree. How do you know they won’t call it a shooting foul and give them 3 free throws? All the offensive player has to do is make some sort of wild flinging motion and you’re cooked. I think we played it right and just got Chris-Robertsed.

    Final score: Bradley 108 Indiana State 99

    My biggest takeaway from this game is how clear it is that BW has an emphasis on having 2 strong point guards. When Jaquan was on the bench with fouls, and especially when he fouled out, it was Wheeler’s team. Through the good and bad, the young man kept his chin up and was a tremendous...

    Final score: Bradley 108 Indiana State 99

    Jaquan’s free throw issues remind me so much of DLo in his soph/jr year. He’d get to the line in key situations and struggle to execute from there. But there was a magical day in early March 2019 when the young man was put to the line to shoot 4 in a row in one of the highest stakes moments in...

    Weak opponent, cold weather, wrong venue, blah blah blah. It’s Bradley Basketball. We show up and support our team better than anyone in the Valley. Get your butts to the game.

    Final score: Bradley 64 Washington State 60

    no disrespect, but I just can’t quite agree on the tough take after a P5 win that I saw in person last night. I think the 25+ win seasons of the past few years have spoiled us a bit…. With our youth, combined with the coaching staff comments early on that this year would be “a process” tells me...

    Final score: Bradley 74 Liberty 64

    Bingo. At the outset of the season….seeng the youth and amount of new players, then hearing BW say “it’s going to be a process….” basically prompted me to lower my emotions for the first month or more of the season. The competitive spirit I saw in this tournament shows we have the players...

    Final score- UC San Diego 87 Bradley 77

    I hate losing. That said, I saw progress made in this loss. The comeback made in the last 4 minutes shows me this team has the heart and attitude that draws me toward being a fan in the first place. As the season progresses, there is hope that the skills and execution can compliment the...
