Great game for BU, beating a ranked opponent on the road
Josh Young made a bad mistake, and kinda handed BU a great chance to win.

JC is Player of the Game, what a great shooting night.

Thanks to Andrew Warren for joining everyone in the chat room.
What a really great kid and hurry back to help the Braves win the valley title
 
Ok. BU and Drake exchanged 1 point victories. The series tiebreaker will be in StL.
I followed the game online and I could only see the score updates. I kept expecting that final to flash up 73-72 Drake...but it didn't and now I'm happy. Never go to bed angry.
 
Great win for us and could be a losing streak for Drake, they have Butler in the BB this weekend.

BU just jumped to 86 in the RPI on realtimerpi after the win too!

Amen to that!

What an incredible effort and a truley memorable win by our Braves.

In a rough up and down season all you could ask for tonight was for them to lay it on the line and DID THEY EVER!

Now lets build on this great win and have a GREAT FINISH TO THE SEASON!
 
Great win for Bradley

That officiating was awful. While Korver will certainly never make the NBA like his brother, he may have a job as an actor. Those offensive fouls were a joke.

Bradley made just enough plays to win. Absolutely beautiful
 
This was certainly a game of runs.
I think BU's biggest lead was 11 and Drakes was 13. BU didn't score a point the first 4 minutes of the 2nd half and Drake didn't score the last 5 minutes of the half. It as 71-63 with 4:58 left after DU made a free throw for its final points.

I couldn't see the game...what the H*E* double hockeysticks happened in that last 5? Did the zebras pocket the whistles?

there was one called against Rashad in the first half when the Drake defender slid in under him as he posted up, and another when the Drake defender undercut Crouch on a layup attempt, and those loonies in stripes gave both calls to Drake!
 
What a win...after screaming and yelling up a storm at Peoria North Buffalo Wild Wings, I'm left speechless. I don't think the magnitude of this win has even set in with most of us.

Think about it...we just beat the NUMBER 16 RANKED TEAM IN THE COUNTRY. On the road. After being down by as much as 13 late in the game. Without 1 of only 2 players to start every game this year who is only 2 pts away from being our leading scorer. And it's JL's 100th win! I think we'll look back on this game as one of the best wins in the JL era.
 
It really kills me. One of these days I'm going to have a heart attack. Dead before I'm 30, great. Start off like that, then melt down, then three 3's in a row, then go back to being down by 10, then the shot clock matching the game clock for 1 last posession, an early shot to pull ahead by 1, a drake chance, two drake misses.

im emotionally beat.

Hardly....BU still got whistled for a whole lot more fouls than Drake, and yet on the final play when Young threw up a prayer at the buzzer, I still expected yet another whistle and a foul on Salley, but the refs headed to the locker room and let that last play go.

Final totals...
Fouls-- BU 17, Drake 10 (only 10 calls in the whole game !)
FT attempts-- BU 9, Drake 16
 
OK. Drakes RPI dropped from 10 to 14. Additionally its not noted as a bad loss. But their win at Bradley is noted as a quality win.

Weird.
 
ESPNU has lots of great pictures from the game!
