That’s great news! Can’t believe how this team has played despite all the adversity that they have gone through so far.With a healthy Elijah who knows how far this team can go this year!

Awesome!

Will be nice to have some depth for once in the last few games.
No excuse for losing this one - BIG game!
When is the last time we were 6-3 in the Valley and in Top 3?

Let's get this one, BU!
 
Wednesday night is a MUST win. You have to take care of business on your home court. If we can get that one and one of the road games (@Loyola/@Drake) we'll be in good shape.
 
One other piece of good news... I have heard that Elijah Childs had the cast removed from his right hand yesterday. He still won't be cleared to play for another week or two, but he can step up the workouts and get physical therapy while the healing continues. There is no projected return date yet.
 
We needed that W in Terre Haute. Lets see how this plays out but Wardles got a shot at COY. Definitely MUST win, preferably in dominant fashion. Lets go. Get the next 3 and take control of this thing. Once Elis back, Lets go Dancin. Meet up with and beat the Illini in the elite 8 and go to the final 4 lol. Go BU.

awwww yeah, baby! I still think we're going to pull off a Valley championship. We just need to take care of business with Loyola and hope that someone else can knock off NIU for us (it's not completely out of the realm of possibility!).
 
Hopefully we don’t need to push DB too hard tonight. Just let him ease his way back to make sure everything is 100%. It’s also great news to hear that Eli’s cast is coming off. As Lou Brown said in the movie Major League “It’s starting to come together Pepper”. This team deserves a good crowd tonight as well as the rest of the regular season and at Arch Madness. GET ER DONE!
