Post game thread - BU 68 isu 72

Yeah... destroyed on the boards and in the paint in the second half. Must have shot about 10% in the first 10 minutes of the second half.
 
That Bob Morris, calling the game along side Kirk on the TV broadcast was intolerable.

Big time homer, big time ISU bias. Had to turn off the volume and listen to Dave Snell on the AM.
 
zero pts from our bench tonight....pretty much sums it up....nice comeback half by DR who had a bad 1st half....kudos to TW with a nice night against much bigger players!
 
One word, D C. I don't care how slow DC is inside, Salley, Singh, Austin, and Wilson, all killed on the boards and post play. Toss it down low & shoot over defender all game. Put DC in there and at least make them do a move with the ball instead of just shooting it up. I think ISU ended up a little over 60% FG for the game. Most of them layups and shots 2-3 feet in the post. Defense has reverted back to the days of the 6 game losing streak. Not good at all. Oh well, it's looking more and more likely like a 3rd or 4th seed in the tourney. ISU only has 2 fairly tough games left while all but one of ours is tough. Least we kept it close on the road, that might be a factor on the neutral court against ISU or whomever tough we play in the tourney.

Was a tough game to watch and take, but the Braves kept it up all night. ISU played a great game, Osiris and Slack had very big games against us. We got murdered in the paint in the second half, and I think it was probably related to some adjustments made by Jankovich.
 
Wow, ISU fans are bad, very rarely have a seen more classless group of people. I'm sure part of it was because I was in the upper bowl, but still. I honestly don't think a single one of their cheers was free from obscenities. The itself game was huge disappointment, with a little bit better play we would have won easily.
 
just got back....


the ISU students had some really classless chants. Every time a BU player was called for a foul, the entire student section (and cheerleaders?) yelled YOU - SU<K - D*CK

Also multiple chants of "F - U - B - U"

I guess I shouldn't really have expected class, though. I have never and can't imagine ever hearing chants like that in Peoria.

The ISU fans in front of me didn't know the names of their players.

The ball bounced their way tonight. A loose ball here, an in and out shot there and Bradley wins. We are the better team.
 
I dont know if it was just me or what but we missed a lot of free throws tonight. I'm not saying we lost because of that because we got killed in the paint.

In reference to the cheers, I didn't expect any less because we knew they would be a hostile crowd. I highly doubt we could get away with that at Bradley though and frankly, I wouldn't even want to try. It lacked class and granted we have some students that can go over the top, but you won't hear our students doing chants like that.

Speaking of students, Kudos to the students who showed up and stood and cheered the whole game, a friend of mine from ISU who was across the arena said that they could hear us over their own fans at times. I felt that we were well represented at the game tonight.

Bring them on in the tournament. If there is one team I would love to keep from winning the tourney it is them.
 
I must have been watching a different game. I thought it was very entertaining. There was a BU contingent sitting above me and I saw no one hassling them. When the student section started singing "you're not gonna make it" for DR's freethrow I was cracked up. Ruffin did pop one in from about 29 feet. OE had three or four reverse layups.

I still like AW. After he made that foul in the final 10 seconds he still had a smile on his face. What positive energy- rarely seen anymore. You guys need some bigs in a bad way. I wouldn't feel so bad, ISU is pretty deep.
 
Just got back. I have not seen that many middle fingers in a long time. Props to all the BU fans that made it, there were a lot of Bradley fans there. For all the criticism we have about our own crowd, a Bradley home crowd is hand down better than a crowd at ISU. Noise, class...
