This could be an interesting game. If we can play smart, control the pace, and continue shooting FTs well, we have a great opportunity.
 
BU is a 1.5 point favorite on UTEP's home court? That's pretty astonishing, especially if they pack that place with people like yesterday's game (44 in attendance, yes, that's a joke).

Also, anyone know if there is a way to get the WBNH game call after a game is over? I was thinking of adding it to the video of the Sam Houston game since the audio for that game was so terrible.

We streamed Dave Snell to our sound bar and synced up the audio with the video and it was a pretty good experience for watching that game.
 
WMBD Tommy means. They used to have these links saved in the Bradley athletics website, but for several years now they don’t seem to have it anymore. Agree tho the ultimate way to experience any Bradley game would include Dave Snell’s call.

Whoops. You are correct, WMBD! Though Dave Snell could probably throw down a pretty good sermon on WBNH, as well!
 
I think Dub is right. I'm not sure why, but I don't believe WMBD archives their game broadcasts.

And here are the betting lines and how they've moved (the "Spread" column)-
https://www.vegasinsider.com/college.../date/12-22-21

Some have UTEP as a 1 to 2 point favorite (Wynn) and some have Bradley as a 1 to 1.5 point favorite, and there are some pickems. It appears the betting line shifted slightly more in favor of UTEP this afternoon.
 
Nice win by the Braves.....team effort and another great game by Robert's. Was getting concerned by all the fouls but the Braves weathered the storm.:mrgreen:
 
Bradley trailed the throughout the 2nd half by as much as 14 points, but then chipped away with great defense in the final 10 minutes, and finally took the lead with a Rienk Mast three with 4:49 left, and never trailed again. Terry Roberts with a terrific game- 26 points, 11 points,

Malevy Leons and Terry Roberts were all-tournament, and Roberts was the Tournament MVP.
 
We won this game without Henry!

And Roberts is amazing, what more can be said!

26 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 blocks. Wow!
 
Man, Terry carried the team thru a lot of problems scoring. Leon's can shoot for real. I've noticed without Henry they do lack in defensive rebounding and inside D but they shoot the 3 a lot better with out him. I wish him a quick recovery either way, but just a thought
 
Down 14 in the second half BU with 14:04 left it looked like the Braves were going home in second place but the Braves picked it up at both ends of the court and delivered a 37-16 finish for the comeback win. Just a wonderful game by Tournament MVP Terry Roberts as he had 26 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks. Mast hit 2 huge 3’s late in the second half, the last one giving us the lead for good. Zek Montgomery and Jason Kent also contributed big plays and Leons is such a steady presence. Great win to go into Christmas with!
 
Great comeback win for the Braves! Starting the season losing 5 of their first 6 and now winning 6 out of their last 7. Different guys are stepping up every game but it seems to me Roberts is in a different league.He is emerging as a star that can flat out play. He keeps playing like this and he makes 1st team all Valley IMO.
