Da Coach, I assume you meant Cedar Falls and not Cedar Rapids.
 
Why was Born out last game @ Drake? He is a tough guy to stop and has done well vs BU in his career.

UNI has underachieved a little this season and they are a Top 5 Valley team for sure.

Can't sleep on these guys, but we should win by 10-15.

All that UNI released prior to game time Saturday night at Drake was that he was "out due to an illness"- https://twitter.com/JeffDubrofKCCI/status/1751379402410115499

Just a couple hours ago, UNI coach Ben Jacobson said "junior G Bowen Born was able to be in the gym this morning and is expected to be available on Wednesday when the Panthers face Bradley.- https://twitter.com/ethan_petrik/status/1752009900790521966

From what I have heard born may not play tonight

Head Coach Ben Jacobson says he "will be available for today's game against Bradley" according to Jon Rothstein- https://twitter.com/JonRothstein/status/1752689562135024076
However, coaches sometimes like to throw the opposing coaches off, but I think we'll see Born in uniform.

Here is another tweet saying Born will play tonight- https://twitter.com/Jmadden1632/status/1752693521054683495

And there are some betting websites that say he is "questionable" for tonight- https://twitter.com/freeplays/status/1752709963137388554


Bradley is listed as a 7.5 point favorite tonight- https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/game/_/gameId/401601870/northern-iowa-bradley

Bradley's had recent success against UNI- BU won all 3 games last year, and no doubt they still remember the 18-point comeback, 57-54 win over UNI in the championship game of the 2020 MVC Tournament.
So not surprising, one UNI fan says this about Bradley- :)
"They've become the program I like the least in the league"- https://www.panthernation.com/forum...game-22-jan-31-at-bradley?p=733048#post733048

I'd take that as a compliment.
 
Coaches like to do that. I think Wardle did that with Connor this year..His first game back Wardle said he was questionable then he ended up starting
 
Whether Born plays or not we are a better team period. Jump on them early and give Thomas and Burch more minutes tonight. We need to hold them on defense to 65 points or less.
 
Haven't commented on the refs in probably 10 games but they are BAD tonight. Shocked Wardle hasn't gotten a T yet ... He's calmer than I would be.
 
Great Win @ home over a tough UNI team. A must Win to stay in the Valley race....:mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen:
 
Bradley never trails, dominating UNI.
Final score: Bradley 85 UNI 69
Stats- https://bradleybraves.com/sidearmstats/mbball/media

UNI got a bunch of their points on FTs awarded by officials when their players drove directly into the Bradley defenders. Last season, many of those would have been called offensive fouls. I can't say I like the emphasis on calling all the contact on the defender.
 
Missouri State beat Southern Illinois in OT 76-75. So Bradley got some buffer between SIU and UNI tonight in the standings. 2 games up on both of them
