Final score: Bradley 75 Northern Iowa 69

I went to the ESPN app to watch the replay since we were busy earlier, but there is nothing there. Given it was an ESPN broadcast,, and since almost all oir games are there, it really should be there. If I knew I had to record it, I would have. Needles to say, I am ticked. Anyone have any suggestions or ways to see it as a recording?
 
Just a wonderful day for my fandom! Not too sure what I was more surprised by. Another improbable. spine tingling comeback win by Da Bears, Da Cubs actually signing a player to a 5 year $175 million dollar contract, or Meta looking like he could play this game on the next level. He just needs to keep working on his consistency. The sky is the limit for this team if he can keep this up. Makes us a totally different team.
 
Blackhawks also won last night 3-0 with Connor Bedard back in action with 2 assists. Bulls won with Coby White scoring 22 with win against Dallas. Triple win for Chicago last night.

I agree. I have thought if Bradley had a strong inside presence combined with their guards and forwards they would be a very good team
 
One defining trait of this team is they “never give up”. I don’t think there is any real “star” player on this team. They often have slow starts, but usually recover. They are starting to improve in fighting for rebounds and hustling for loose balls. This makes them harder for teams to defend them, especially at the end of games.

Whenever the game is on ESPNU, it is NOT EVER on Espn+ for replay! I learned that the hard way a few times before. I am pretty sure the same goes for ESPN2.

True!

And CT hit a big 3 late in 2nd half, which may have kept the Braves in it.
Meta, CT, and AJ'a contributions are huge for us to be successful.

BU needs to get better at the free throw line.

I continue to see this mentioned after each game. I'm not seeing this team as a poor FT shooting team. Aren't we like 72% as a team? That's a few % pts down from last season, but would venture to say it's average among D-1 teams. The only guy who struggled 2nite was Timo, and he's usually pretty reliable from the charity stripe. Our bigs, CT, Meta, and Kai Yu have been exceptional with FTs this season.

That appears to be mostly true, but not always 100% true.
If you look at the list of replays available from yesterday's live broadcasts of NCAA men's basketball games, there are a few that were on ESPN, ESPN2, or ESPNU, and even a few from the ACC Network or the SEC Network (operated by ESPN) that are available to watch.
Here is a link to yesterday's games and I posted a couple screen shots below to show that those cable broadcasted games sometimes are archived for viewing. I don't know what the difference is and why a few are available, but many are not-

And here is one example of a Bradley game- the Bradley-Murray State game from last Sunday, January 4, was on ESPN2, and if you set the replay date for January 4, you'll find that game is archived and available to watch the replay-

Yea I think regular TV broadcasts need to be recorded whereas ESPN+ games are always available for replay. I have my Hulu + Live TV set to record every BU game. Of course, it missed the first 5 minutes last night!
 
Taking a look at the standings as of today, Bradley is tied for second place. Upcoming road trips to Northern Iowa, Drake, and ISU red are possible losses. Belmont and Murray State have to come to Peoria yet. And also add that the top teams have yet to play each other yet. Anything is possible and need to win our home games on the remaining schedule. Hoping Bradley goes 15-5 or 14-6. Good enough for a top finish. Any thing else is icing on the cake. If Meta can be more consistent in his play going forward like he played last night. He does that then IMHO we should be top two in the conference."LET'S GO BRAVES"
 
Is Meta becoming a pretty decent center for us after we've been waiting so long! We knew he was a project and there were no guarantees! If he becomes more of a player then we thought, does this really help Bradley Bigtime when games are on the line?
