Bradley's next game is at home against University of Northern Iowa on Tuesday, Feb. 3, at 7:05 pm.

Halftime promotion is Quick Change. Will they have anything different in their routine, or will it be exactly the same as it has been for the last 10+ years?

They have performed all over the world. I didn't know they lived in Glenview, Illinois!
By the way, though they are not giving away many of their trade secrets, the Quick Change artists, David and Dania, are marketing some of their costume items.

David and Dania are the most successful to ever perform a quick-change act. But they were far from the first or most original. There have been similar magicians who have done the quick-change act for well over 100 years. And the Quick Change act by David and Dania is almost identical to a famous Russian act from the 1950's. Here is a bit of history about quick-change art, see the section about the Russian Sudarchikovi's, who the David and Dania have modeled their Quick Change act after.-

The game is not scheduled for broadcast TV, but will be available on BUBraves.tv.

University of Northern Iowa is 16-6, 10-1 in the MVC and in 1st place.

Their starting 5 are all averaging between 9.4 ppg and 11.5 ppg.-
Kwadzo Ahelegbe- 11.4 ppg, leads team with 3.1 assists per game

NOW! This game REALLY matters. A win and we will be a strong contender for a 2nd place finish. A loss and we could finish in our, all to often 5th place, 2:30 game, in the Valley Tournament!
IMO, BU wins comfortably, if their "D" creates "O".8-10pts.:lol::lol::lol:
 
We hang on to that 10 point lead this time around. No reason we can't get a 10 point lead or better at home if we did it on the road at UNI.

NO EXCUSES......NO MERCY!....BU just flat out has to win this one!!! If we play like we did at ISU and get some production from DC & SS we will win by 10 or more.

BU 68
UNI 58

GO BRAVES!!!

Do we finally score 70?


In all reality this game will be decided by how it is called by the officiating crew...

I believe BU prevails in a tightly called game...

If they let Moran, O'Rear, and Koch grab fistfulls of uni and trip and elbow players all night (like they did up there) we'll be in for another long one...

Anything less than a twenty point win is not acceptable...

Pretty sure when next week rolls around, it won't matter if it's 1 point in double OT or a 20 point win.

A win is a win right now.

ESPECIALLY over the 3-games-ahead league-leading team. Like it or not, they're the Drake of this year. No one expects it, everyone counts on them to fold, and they keep pulling it out.

hahah for this game I'll take a W no matter how it's gotten.

I agree this is a big game for us. A win would be great even if we don't finish first. We can at least say we beat the potential Valley champion (not a done deal though), and we have a nice win against ISU. This could help for possible NIT seeding later on as well as Valley tournament seeding. So lets get this game tonight and knock UNI down a spot or two! :D
 
We're winning this game and we are going on the road and taking care of business @ Creighton and Drake

This season is far from over...we have received our last loss...no more digits added for the right hand column...should I add a "book it"?

until the post season that is
 
Interesting preview... Just a question though. Is 42.4% on FGs really that bad of a number? It doesn't seem great for a primarily inside kind of player, but I don't know if it's "can't hit the broadside of Carver" bad...
 
I really hope everyone is up for this one, from the players to the person in the last row... After the first UNI game, I trust the whole crowd will treat this game with great importance and the boys come out with a ton of urgency.. We need to get a couple calls and get some reasonably good interior play.. (So someone get DC some coffee and tell him to be alert!)

Let's go Bradley!

Except us glass half full types will say for the second year in a row, for not very good reasons, we should have and did not sweep the regular season champions.
 
Anyone remember the intentional foul call on a dead ball situation :eek::mad::eek::mad:

WE OWE THESE GUYS A BEAT DOWN! Let's put ourselves in a position where even a bad call will not have any influence on the outcome. GO BU!
