Braves total domination over SIU 79-63!!!

We only won one out three times we played them in 2005-2006, and that was a 72-60 win at Carver....not by any means a domination. They beat us by 13 in St. Louis.

I disagree. We dominated that game. We shot 60% for the game, forced them into 20 turnovers, and led the entire game. I recall us leading by around 20 or so a lot of the 2nd half, similar to today.

the pot shots have all come from the anti-BU people who despite claiming to be GOOD Bradley fans are strangely quite absent whenever they win
(while being voluminously active in posting after a loss or narrow win)
Case closed....and is there anyone who gets more "pot shots" aimed at him than you know who so don't lecture me about pot shots.

I don't know the numbers but it seems like a whole lot of people are posting and are optimistic right now after this good win. And hopefully this keeps going.

Not lecturing anyone. I just don't get how in ONE thread we are told NOT to make it about posters then in THIS thread thats exactly whats done.

I don't think BU has played well to date other then a few quarters..maybe a half. I call em like I see em. So I'm not a good BU fan. I just don't get it. I'd match my 20+ years of loyal, unwavering support with ANYONE during those same years.

I see alot of those same fans that have been that have been rightfully critical of BU'spoor play here singing BU's praises for a great effort and performance. They have DESERVED both the criticism and the praise.

JL has been the most critical of these guys latley...must not be a good BU fan.

I'm telling you this getting labeled or called a non-fan just becuase we voice our opinion about the teams poor performance is getting REAL old with alot of posters. Its driving many away and thats sad.

Great post!
 
^Ditto. We all love Bradley basketball, that is why we are here, whether we trash or praise them. We all clearly want them to succeed.

Wow - people need to eat more onions to get thicker skin (plus repulse those around them :lol:).

But if posters are leaving in droves, they don't have to leave mad - they can just leave. LOL! ;-):lol:

I saw a fire from this team that I havent seen before. We shouldnt lose a game at carver the rest of the year.
Click to expand...

The last time that I saw any type of fire from this team was the ETSU game before Will Egolf went down with his injury!

Today's win was a nice building block and one of the few times this year that we have played for a complete game.
 
Not to make excuses for our poor efforts earlier this year, but I think we're going to see some better continuity and maybe more consistent 'fire' from the team with regular time between games. Our schedule has been so sporadic this year with 3 games here, a week between games there, two games here, another week between games there. It's impossible to get any type of consistency playing that sporadically. From here on out we play every 3-4 days. I think we'll see more consistent efforts with a more consistent routine.

For a young and inexperienced team, I think that is a legitimate excuse, maybe not for lack of fundamentals, but just coming out raw and cold.
 
I'll just start and finish with saying there is NOTHING to complain about tonight...at least not with the players...everyone played good, some great, and yes, I mean everyone who played more than 5 minutes....

A major contribution from some and the supporting cast....we finally got what it means to be a team...

Hopefully this week and for the rest of the season we take it to the next level....

Executed the day to perfection...

I agree 100%
 
I think I should just stay out of state and not come back to school next semester... We're undefeated when I'm not in Illinois..

I'll be back for the game on the 6th, if we lose I'm dropping out and hitting the road.

Were there any recruits at the game today?

I am not aware of any BU recruits at the game, but there was one recruit there behind the SIU bench.
SIU recruits the Chicago and Central Illinois area hard. I don't know who he was, but it was not a great game for SIU to have a recruit at.

-Y'all see DC's monster dunk on the put back? Was that some intensity or what. I had to take a double look to make sure that was DC I saw.

Yeah, DC's been playing with a lot of intensity in the past few games, I think. Or more intensity than usual. It's a big improvement. I hope he keeps it up.
