Drake 13-12, 4-10 (Road 2-6) at Bradley 16-10, 7-7 (Home 11-2) 2:05 pm CST.
Bradley's RPI is 49, Drake is 109.
The game will be televised live by WEEK-TV and is available on BUBraves.tv.
Bradley has usually bounced back after tough losses with big wins at home. There should be a sell-out crowd. Drake is coming off a big win at Northern Iowa. Here is a rather insulting article by their beat writer from the Des Moines Register. Reading junk like this after your team just wins a huge road game is ridiculous. It makes me appreciate Dave Reynolds even more.

Here is an article that's a little friendlier from the Drake student newspaper. Drake, with wins over Iowa and Iowa Strate and 2 wins over UNI, is now the undisputed champions of the state of Iowa.--

I am nervous about tomorrow. Guess I am nervous about every game. Really - EVERY game is a BIG GAME!

Drake has been playing good ball in their last 5:

Jan 24 @ Wichita St L 77-82
Jan 27 Northern Iowa W 74-61
Jan 31 Missouri St L 82-87 OT
Feb 3 Creighton L 62-67
Feb 8 @ Northern Iowa W 67-59
 
As long as the Braves come out of the gate firing, i think we will be ok. i'd still like to hold onto the delusional thinking we have a very very slim shot at getting to the dance. well it is possible if we run the table in st louis!
 
Meh. Another win. At this point we really only need to worry about UNI and VCU.


And with UNI's slide....

But we need a very deep tourny run to justify an NCAA bid.
 
In order to even dream of a shot in the NCAA, we need to win 'em all and two in STL IMO. It all starts today! BEAT DRAKE!

GO BRAVES!
 
Good lord, 5 threes in a row, why couldn't we have this production at Southern. They have more 3's in 5 minutes of game time than the whole game at Southern. Whew. Looks like an easy win today. Lets hope MO state loses.

Bradley wins 100 to 85. Way to go Braves. Had me worried for a bit there.

We rebounded well I thought in this game. We just need to stay strong the whole game. Having a 20 pt. lead cut to 1 is not good.
 
I don't think its been mentioned. Matt Salley had 16 family and friends suprise him yesterday. They drove here from North Carolina to see him play today.
 
Anyone who was at the game or watched it on TV -- there's a player who's a complete waste of a scholarship who wandered in with about 2 minutes to go. Stop the GD showboating and try a quality shot and you won't have fans curled up in a fetal position on the sidelines.

Other than that, great game, great attendance. What am I going to do when there is no more basketball???
