Just for the record....

I want to post a huge .....

CONGRATULATIONS BULLDOGS

to the Drake team and fans, as it has been so very long, and I think they really deserve the accolades for such a fine season and regular season championship in the MVC.
What a story, and it couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of kids and fans.


Now......having said that, I hope the rest their starters and play a lot of subs as they really don't have as much reason to win tonight's game as Bradley has!!
( )

GO Braves!

It should be interesting to see how Drake responds, after having clinched the title.

On the one hand, they should be very loose, as there is little riding on the game for the 'dogs.

On the other hand, they're playing for the highest seed possible in the NCAA tournament.

The way this group of guys has played this season, I don't expect tonight's effort to be any different than all season....these guys have really been on an even keel all year.

This will sound cliche....but, as good as this team is on the court, they're even better off the court. All 5 starters carry a 3.0+ gpa, and are the kind of guys I'd let my 19 year old daughter socialize with.

T....will you be at the game tonight?

I also believe C-S has made 3 of his last 7 3pt attempts.
Maybe he is finally playing within the game?
I think it is important that when Cole-Scott is in, Ruffin be in also.
He seems to calm C-S down,takes the Juco out of him!

I completely agree!

By the way, TCS has made 2 of his last 3 3pt attempts, 3 of his last 6, and 4 of his last 8.

T....will you be at the game tonight?

I will not, but Da Coach is already in transit and will be there.
I suspect he will be one of the guys in red by the BU bench, but if you send him
a PM (private message) he has his laptop and will likely be happy to tell you where he'll be and say hi.

Keys to the game for Bradley to win:
1) Keep Drake below 8 3 point baskets
2) rebound
3)Make at least 9 3 point baskets
4)Bench needs to score at least 16 points
5)keep Drake below 72 points
6) stay out of foul trouble because we are playing a man short

And as we learned from Indiana State:
Avoid long, long stretches where nobody can hit the broad side of a barn.

Thanks John Madden....buuuurn
haha just kidding
i personally think the key is
Bradley needs to accomodate for AW being out. So Crouch needs to step up his shooting. Sammy Man needs to keep being fantastic. And ruff needs to be good ol' RUff

well now that I sound like i know less about sports than I already don't know...I'm going to go get ready to watch the game

let's go braves!!!!

 

[real fan]

This has been one of the worse one sided ref jobs I have seen in a long time, if it wasn"t for that we would be ahead by at least 8 points, Pollard and Kissinger should be wearing Drake jerseys.

 

[Stryker]

Pollard has already cost us at least 1 game this season. Before this season I didn't realize that there was such a shortage of refs and that BU would have the some of the same refs working multiple games they played in. Pretty much sucked. Anyway GREAT WIN BY THE BRAVES!!!!

 

[real fan]

Great win as it should show everybody that this team can beat anybody in this conference, Now lets win out and shoot for 3rd place.

1) partial check because they had 8 3's
2) check, we win the battle 32 to 28
3) check, make 11
4) no check, only scored 7, on a side note, they only scored 7
5) check, 71 points
6) no check, but i still disagree with quite a few calls

4 out of 6 and we get the W, please keep making the predictions

 

[real fan]

I make them based on what I believe BU needs to do in order to win; hopefully they will continue to rebound, play good defense and shoot well as those are the 3 most important things we need to continue to do in order to have success.
